Before I Share My Views…

“At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual

presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views

should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than the formal

position, explanation, or interpretation of the IEEE.”

Increased bandwidth IEEE P802.3ba 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet

• Computing– Driven by key technologies

• Internal bus and memory performance– System throughput doubles approximately every 2 yrs

• Core networking– More users, bandwidth, applications– Wide area, ISPs, IXs

• Increase number of users• Increase in bandwidth available; xDSL, xPON, Cable, 3G• Increase number of applications; YouTube, Facebook, Netflix

– Enterprise• Aggregation of multiple computing systems

– Core throughput doubles approximately every 18 months

Connectivity convergence

• Convergence on Ethernet for wired connectivity– Eliminates protocol conversion– Higher volume, lower cost

• Home to Core convergence– Audio/Video Bridging Task Group

• Real time clock distribution, bandwidth reservation

– Data Centre Bridging Task Group• Lossless Ethernet operation, bandwidth assignment

• Increases bandwidth requirements

Conclusions• Ethernet is the ubiquitous wired connectivity

– < 0.01m to 1,000s of kilometres– 10Mb/s to 10Gb/s

• Link Aggregation– Backplane to fibre (and everything in between)

• New speeds, media, features and applications reinforce this– 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s– Energy-efficient Ethernet

• Continued convergence on Ethernet– Data Centre Bridging– Audio/Video Bridging
