About the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Standard

Tags:
ethernet

Overview 10 GbE Physical layer specifications (PHY) and supported media and reaches, as defined in IEEE 802.3 2005. In Ethernet standards, the different optical and copper media are known as types of physical media-dependent interfaces (PMDs). The 10 GbE MAC operates at 10 Gbps at its service interface (towards PHY) and rate-adapts between MAC PHY layers to accommodate slightly different LAN PHY and WAN PHY data rates by adjusting inter-packet gaps (IPGs). The rate adaptation mechanism is known as open loop control.

The Bloor Perspective: Java's big hope and Microsoft's major headache

But the first Java products were grindingly slow to execute, and their claims for uniform inter-operability were quickly exposed as absurd. Packet based GPRS services are poised to deliver packet billed applications with better bandwidth than...

Has Gigabit Ethernet come of age?

Now its developers at the IEEE intend to take Ethernet out of the LAN and into the WAN these issues are becoming more pressing. The advent of its fatter version is opening up the transfer of WAN data from ATM, frame-relay or packet over SONET/SDH...

What are IP VPNs good for?

However, because MPLS only supports traffic in the network core - it doesn't yet extend out to cover local access networks such as the local loop - choosing between the two is not as clear-cut as it should be.

Devil's Advocate: BT strikes out with 21CN

And developments in optical equipment have pushed this trend to the point where there is substantial overcapacity in long-distance physical links. The combination of digital signals and optical fibre made long-distance communications far easier and...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
