Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Ethernet since introduction in ‘70s has consistently developed.

Applications and services have expanded beyond all imagination because of protocol flexibility.

IP is now expected to replace traditional telecom protocols.

Speed improvement from 10M to 100M, and now 1000M.

Bandwidth demand always exceeds supply.(Fibre glut has not addressed access bottleneck)

Cheap technology supports popularity.

Typical applications

1. High speed workstations, e.g. medical graphics

3. LAN inter-connection on the campus (<10km)

2. LAN connection of hubs to high speed servers

4. LAN inter-connection in metro region, e.g. dark fibre

5. LAN inter-connection in WAN, e.g. over SDH

Why do testing?

Prove that fibre optic cable is OKProve that copper cabling is OKProve that network connection is madeProve that packet transmission occursProve that bandwidth reservation is correctProve that network addressing is correctProve that network connectivity is correct

Ensure Network Installation is 100% correct and Service Operation is reliable
