Metro Ethernet Technology on Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
Overview Ethernet technology has experienced several changes, evolving from a shared-media half-duplex 10 Mbps LAN technology to a full-duplex switched 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps LAN technology, as the demand for higher networking speeds has grown. Ethernet switches, too, have evolved with advanced capabilities; notably, advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and security, which previously were available only for other more expensive media. By offering cost effective bandwidth, Ethernet has made it possible for digital applications to flourish by taking advantage of a high-performance infrastructure and delivering unprecedented services. Because of its intrinsic qualities, Ethernet has been the desktop technology of choice since it emerged as the most cost effective delivery option for high-speed connectivity.

Performance Considerations for Network Switch Fabrics on Linux Clusters
In this paper the authors investigate the necessity of a high speed interconnect for Linux based clusters and the performance differences between Myrinet and Ethernet connected networks. The authors benchmark...
A Comparison of MPICH Allgather Algorithms on Switched Networks
The study discussed in this paper evaluates the performance of MPI_Allgather() in MPICH 1.2.5 on a Linux cluster. This implementation of MPICH improves on the performance of allgather compared to...
Ethernet Over SONET GFP, VCAT and LCAS
Enterprise networks are demanding Ethernet services to their Service Providers. In a time when capital is constrained, Service Providers want to use their present SONET/SDH infrastructure to transport Ethernet in...
TIA-942 Data Center Networking Applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet Over Twisted-Pair Copper
In parallel and subsequent to the development of TIA-942, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet working group published two twisted-pair copper standards, 1000 Mb/s Ethernet designated 1000BASE-T and 10 Gb/s Ethernet (10...
