IEEE new workgroup develops over 100Gbps Ethernet standards

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic engineers) in Monday, a new team was set up to explore the various versions of Ethernet that emerged from 40G and 100G Ethernet workgroup merges per second. 802.3 Ethernet Bandwidth Assessment The Task Force will now collect a wide range of data and will submit a report by June 2012.

So far, at least two groups have come up with completely different future Ethernet recommendations. Google and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1560.html "> Companies running large data centers such as Facebook are demanding that Terabit (Tabit) Ethernet be launched by early 2013 to handle the growth of mobile and video data. Component vendors have made more realistic recommendations, with speeds of only half 400G per second Ethernet.

John D ' Ambrosia, head of the new special team, says you will see differences between suppliers and customers. D ' Ambrosia is also a member of the chief Technical Officer's office of Force10 NX Corporation.

Component designers say too-bit targets are unrealistic. The network industry is currently focusing on upgrading from 10GB per second to 25GB per second of the serial port rate, it is not realistic to bundle about 16 lines into a network.

The latest important Ethernet standard 802.3BA, officially approved in May 2010, defines the 40G and 100G data rates.

Andrew Bach, vice president of communications and networking infrastructure at NYSE Euronext, also said at a news conference that it is important that Ethernet standards be developed to maintain a market-leading real-world demand, so that the network architecture can support traffic growth, There is no need to increase operating costs and complexity accordingly.
