Ethernet - The Next Generation WAN Transport

Ethernet Transport and its Service Technology

To understand why Ethernet is a viable transport for the WAN, it’s important to note the various technology that surrounds and supports Ethernet.

Figure 1 shows Ethernet’s circle of technology. At the core, Ethernet is supported within fiber, ...

Degraded Signal Testing

Introduction

Two different testing philosophies have evolved in our communications networks: a "perfection" approach, under which the Device Under Test (DUT) is subjected to signals produced by test equipment whose performance exceeds the DUT's required specifications and a "worst-case" approach that subjects the DUT to signals that simulate those likely to be encountered in the field.

Traditionally, ...

10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Design Considerations

Key factors to consider in the design of 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks are:

The network topology, including operating distances, splice losses and numbers of connectors (i.e. the link ...

Ethernet: The Dominant Network Technology

Ethernet technology is ubiquitous. More than 85 percent of all installed network connections were Ethernet by the end of 1997 according to IDC. This represents over 118 million interconnected PCs, workstations and servers. The remaining network connections are a combination of Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and other protocols. ...

Gigabit Ethernet

Gigabit Ethernet is becoming more and more popular. The accelerating growth of LAN traffic is pushing network administrators to look to higher-speed network technologies to solve the bandwidth crunch. These administrators—who typically have either Ethernet or FDDI backbones today—have several alternatives to choose from. Although each network faces different issues, Gigabit Ethernet meets several key ...

10 Gigabit Ethernet Technology Overview From its origin more than 25 years ago, Ethernet has evolved to meet the increasing demands of packet-switched networks. Due to its proven low implementation cost, its known reliability, and relative simplicity of installation and maintenance, its ...

XAUI interface - Introduction to XAUI

XAUI, the 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface, is a technical innovation that dramatically improves and simplifies the routing of electrical interconnections. Developed by the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet Task Force, XAUI delivers 10 Gb/s of data throughput using four differential signal pairs in each direction. Its compact nature and robust performance makes it ideal ...

iSCSI

Introduction to iSCSI

As Ethernet begins to enter into the Storage world a new protocol has been getting a lot of attention. The Internet Small Computer Systems Interface or iSCSI, is an end-to-end protocol for transporting storage I/O block data over an IP network. The protocol is used on servers (initiators), storage devices (targets), and ...

Carrier Business Ethernet, Private Lines, WaveLengths, Fiber and Ethernet Whitepapers

Ethernet is becoming the dominant networking technology, both in LAN as in WAN environments Ethernet continues to prove to be the network technology of choice. Ethernet provides a high network reliability, is easy to scale, manage and trouble shoot, and is very cost effective. Newer technologies like Ethernet over copper almost always beat bonded T1 ...

3mb, 5mb and 10mb business ethernet bandwidth – the death of bonded t1?

Besides 10 Mbps Ethernet internet, 3 Mbps , 5Mbps are now available through our Ethernet over Copper quoting tool. It is delivered over copper and has a large footprint. A 5Mbps Ethernet connection costs less than a single T1 line in many places, and the 10Mb Ethernet price is at many locations well below ...
