IEEE Launches Study Group To Explore 400 Gbps Ethernet

摘要

IEEE announced the launch of an IEEE 802.3™ "Standard for Ethernet" study group to explore development of a 400 Gbps Ethernet standard to efficiently support ever- increasing, exponential network bandwidth growth. "Traffic is growing everywhere-more Internet users, more ways to access the Internet more quickly, higher-bandwidth content, new applications enabled, etc.-and it's critical that we move now to create a plan for the Ethernet ecosystem to evolve beyond today's capabilities, in order to accommodate the burgeoning bandwidth tsunami," said John D'Ambrosia, chair of the new IEEE 802.3 400 Gbps Ethernet Study Group and chief Ethernet evangelist, CTO office, Dell.
