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
