IEEE sets sights on 100G Ethernet
computerworld:
The next Ethernet speed will be 100Gbps, the IEEE voted
recently. Now the standards body just has to go build something never done
before.
The IEEE's High Speed Study Group (HSSG), tasked with
exploring what Ethernet's next speed might be, voted to pursue 100G Ethernet
over other considerations, such as 40Gbps Ethernet. The IEEE will work to
standardize 100G Ethernet over distances as far as 6 miles over single-mode
fiber optic cabling and 328 feet over multimode fiber.

Ethernet knows where it's going: 100 Gigabits
Computerworld, MA: Ethernet will keep accelerating, speeding up to 100G bit/sec. in the next few years, the head of a standards study group said Wednesday. A special study group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) last Thursday agreed on a target for the next generation of the ubiquitous data networking technology. The 100G-bit/sec. version of Ethernet will be 10 times faster than the current fastest type, 10-Gigabit Ethernet. But vendors as well as users represented in the group, ...more

Ethernet zooms to 100 Gigabit speeds
GigaOm, CA: How fast can data travel over Ethernet? If you answered 10 Gigabit per second, then you would be off by about 90 gigabits per second. Infinera1, a San Jose, Calif.-based start-up, along with University of California, Santa Cruz, Internet2 and Level32 Communications,more

Don't hold your breath for 100 Gbps: Ovum
ITBusiness.ca, Canada:
Some equipment manufacturers are working on technologies that will allow
transfer rates of 100 Gigabits per second over Ethernet networks, but an
industry analyst predicts it will be at least five years before the technology
is installed in wide-area networks.
Earlier this month, San Jose, Calif.-based Force 10 Networks Inc. announced
it was awarded two patents for a backplane designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet
switches. Force 10's announcement came a week after Lucent Technologie...more

100-Gigabit Ethernet and super-Lambda services: The next frontier for Carrier Ethernet
Lightwave:
Dust off a 1999-era marketing presentation from any number of optical vendors
and you likely will find the following story among the first few slides: "IP
traffic is growing exponentially and will dominate voice in terms of network
bandwidth. As such, TDM and IP networks need to converge, and 10G provides that
convergence. OC-192 and next-generation 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) will share
technology, saving money all around."
Those presentations were right; 10G was indeed a conv...more

Search accelerator meets future Ethernet demands
Electronics Talk (press release), UK: IDT's application-optimised network search accelerator has been selected by Bay Microsystems as the packet header processing solution of choice for its recently announced Chesapeake Network Processor. The IDT 75S10000A delivers an unprecedented search rate of one billion searches per second - an order of magnitude greater performance than previous generation solutions - facilitating Bay's support of enhanced triple play services and future 100G Ethernet networks. The IDT network search accelerat...more
