10G Ethernet eyes data center

摘要

With new transceiver silicon sampling for 10-Gbit Ethernet over copper and new system architectures for adaptive Ethernet routing making waves, last week's Interop conference here was a showcase for 10-Gbit Ethernet in the data center.rnThe universality of Layer 2 Ethernet framing threatened to topple Fibre Channel protocols. Even the Infiniband Trade Association came to Interop suggesting that Infiniband could help Ethernet bring an end to the reign of Fibre Channel.
