A Big Ethernet World: 10M to 400G

-
March 29, 2016

We are living in a connected world and there are over a billion Ethernet devices around the world today. It is very interesting how Ethernet has evolved from a simple standard supporting 10 Mbps to multitude of speed modes and ubiquitous applications. From being a standard that traditionally evolved with 10x speed jumps (10M, 100M, 1G, 10G, 100G), it is now growing rapidly at non-10x speed modes (2.5G, 25G, 40G, 50G, 200G, and latest 400G) and covering diverse application areas to satisfy consumer needs.

Join us to go around the big world of Ethernet in the upcoming blogs on the intricacies of the standard IEEE 802.3 – 2012 and draft committees working on 25/50/400G, its interpretations, common gotchas; defining verification strategies, writing test cases, UNH IOL Compliance suite, and so on and so forth. Let’s start the journey with this blog on early days of Ethernet. Bon Voyage.
