Ethernet in the Entertainment Industry (355 KB, pdf)
August 2007: The integration of commercially available Ethernet products in theentertainment industry has dramatically improved our working lives.
Service providers have become increasingly challenged to accommodate customer requests for services; 100GbE is the indentified solution for providing the next generation of internet connectivity to continue to fuel the delivery of new services and content to the consumer and business customers.
This white paper addresses three key topics about 10GBASE-T: the reason for 10GBASE-T, including a description of some 10GBASE-T applications; how it works, which explores the fundamental technology; and how you use it, which explains cabling and field-testing issues.
Overcoming the obstacle of the last mile - the connection between an Internet service provider and a business or home - has been the elusive, final frontier. Ethernet has emerged as the frontrunner for transporting broadband Internet protocol transmissions.
The subject of this white paper is the development of FDSE for use in Avionics networks, and the desirability of simple-to-analyze and deterministic network behavior in knowing where each packet is going and how long it takes to get to its final destination.
Ethernet Alliance members were required to bring at least one 10GBASE-LRM compliant module and their own module evaluation board to demonstrate successful multi-vendor interoperability testing of 10GBASE-LRM optical interfaces in support of the IEEE P802.aq draft standard.
This paper discusses a new technology called Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) which can be employed within the service provider domain of a Provider Backbone Bridged Network (PBBN) to allow configuration of resilient, traffic engineered, SLA driven, point-to-point Ethernet trunks facilitating guaranteed QoS.
This white paper demonstrates how to choose the right cabling infrastructure for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE)
Enabling Ethernet to quickly and adaptively set its link rate in response to link utilization during full-power operation can yield even greater energy savings, and achieve an unbeatable energy efficiency of the most popular networking link layer protocol in the world.
Two challenges exist as 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) is extended beyond its initial role. Achieving 10Gbps on copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and meeting the application's requirements for low power is also needed for 10GBASE-T to meet its full potential.
Due to Ethernet’s proven low implementation cost, its known reliability, and relative simplicity of installation and maintenance, its popularity has grown to the point that today nearly all traffic on the Internet starts or ends on an Ethernet connection.
As 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) is introduced into networks the physical limitations and properties of optical fiber introduce new challenges for a network designer. This paper provides an introduction to the world of optical fiber and covers the unique network design issues that 10GbE introduces into an optical fiber network.
This white paper provides a look at the IEEE 802.3ae project as well as a brief overview of the 10GbE technology. It follows with information about the 10GEA's largest interoperability demo as well as 10GbE in the market place. The paper concludes with additional detail of the 10GbE technology, such as electrical and optical components.
The LAN, MAN, and WAN are now united under a single medium, Ethernet. This paper describes the technical details, and explains how carriers can now take advantage of Ethernet as a transport for their network backbone and their service media.
Deployment of TCP/IP offload in conjunction with high-speed Ethernet technologies enables applications to take full advantage of the networking capabilities. This paper describes TOE technology and various implementations, and discusses TOE challenges and applications.
With the advent of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the commonality of line rates between OC-192 SONET and 10GE has opened up the opportunity to simplify the interface. This paper describes how 10GE nodes can easily interconnect with OC192 SONET networks without leaving the Ethernet cost model behind.
This white paper is designed to provide a general overview of XAUI (pronounced "zowie"), which is part of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard. Details of the technology are found in clauses 47 and 48 of the 10 Gb Ethernet standard (IEEE Std 802.3ae).
This paper presents an overview of Gigabit Ethernet, including Ethernet's current position in the industry, applications driving the need for more bandwidth, Gigabit Ethernet as a strategic evolution for networks, Gigabit Ethernet technology fundamentals and network migration scenarios.
1000BASE-T extends the envelope of Gigabit Ethernet by enabling operation over the extensive installed base of legacy Category 5 cabling systems and, by default, the Category 5 cabling systems currently being installed. This paper provides a technology overview of 1000BASE-T.
