  • ATM Vs Gigabit Ethernet: a Technical Perspective
    White Paper Gigabit Ethernet and ATM A Technology Perspective Bursty, high-bandwidth applications are driving the need for similarly high-bandwidth campus backbone infrastructures. Today, there are two choices for the high-speed campus backbone: ATM or Gigabit Ethernet. For many reasons, business and technical, Gigabit Ethernet is selected as the technology of choice. This paper briefly presents, from a technical perspective, why Gigabit Ethernet is favored for most enterprise LANs. In the past, most campuses use shared-media backbones — such as 16/32 Mbps Token-Ring and 100 Mbps FDDI — that are only slightly higher in speed than the LANs and end stations they interconnect. This has caused severe congestion in the campus backbones when these backbones interconnect a number of access LANs. A high capacity, high performance, and highly resilient backbone is needed-one that can be scaled as end stations grow in number or demand more bandwidth. Also needed is the ability to support differentiated service levels (Quality of Service or QoS), so that high priority, time-sensitive, and mission-critical applications can share the same network infrastructure as those that require only best-effort service. 2 Gigabit Ethernet and ATM: A Technology Perspective White Paper Until recently, Asynchronous Transfer Interface, and Multiprotocol over ATM). Which is a “better” technology is no Mode (ATM) was the only switching This additional complexity is required in longer a subject of heated industry debate technology able to deliver high capacity order to adapt ATM to the connectionless, — Gigabit Ethernet is an appropriate and scalable bandwidth, with the promise frame-based world of the campus LAN.

  • 100 Gigabit Ethernet Is Here!
    100 Gigabit Ethernet is Here! Introduction Ethernet technology has come a long way since its humble beginning in 1973 at Xerox PARC. With each subsequent iteration, there has been a lag between time of standardization and large scale adoption. The latest iteration, dubbed 802.3ba by the IEEE Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG), was ratified in June, 2010 and follows this same pattern but with a slight twist. For the first time in Ethernet history a single standard defines two separate speeds; 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) as well as 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE). Figure 1: Original Ethernet Sketch The technical challenges facing 100GbE have been significant; ranging from developing a whole new generation of optics that can handle 4 lanes of 25Gbps, to simply dealing with normal router and switch functions such as packet inspection, queuing, lookups, filtering and table updates, all in one-tenth the amount of time as with 10GbE. And of course this all has to be done with complete backwards compatibility and meeting all expectations with respect to bit error rate, latency, jitter and the like. As expected 40GbE gained some level of market acceptance first, but some 5 years after ratification the time for 100 Gigabit Ethernet is now! 2 | P a g e This whitepaper will discuss the evolution of 100GbE technology in the service provider and data center markets and provide insights in to how network application acceleration hardware can be leveraged to maximize performance and efficiency in emerging 100GbE network appliances. 100GbE in Service Providers Networks 100GbE is rapidly approaching large scale adoption in the wide area network (WAN), which is largely the purview of service providers.

The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) allow use of selected Physical Layer devices (PHY) for operation over coaxial, twisted-pair or fiber optic cables. System considerations for multisegment shared access networks describe the use of Repeaters that are defined for operational speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Local Area Network (LAN) operation is supported at all speeds. Other specified capabilities include various PHY types for access networks, PHYs suitable for metropolitan area network applications, and the provision of power over selected twisted-pair PHY types.

The Future Is 40 Gigabit Ethernet White Paper Cisco Public Executive Summary The business case for 40 Gigabit Ethernet is becoming inescapably compelling. While 10 Gigabit Ethernet is still making its way into the data centers, CIOs and IT managers must now consider how they are going to handle what’s coming next: high-bandwidth applications such as server virtualization and cloud computing; fabric consolidation within the data center; and a greater demand for high-performance computing among end users (see Figure 1). The need for faster data transfer rates is relentless and carries significant implications with regard to network productivity as well as operating expenditure (OpEx) costs. Figure 1. Current Trends Driving the Demand for This report addresses the impending move to 40 Higher-Speed Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet, how it may change the network architecture, and what IT managers can do now to Market Drivers for More Bandwidth prepare to migrate to the new standard.

  • 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet: an Imminent Reality
    WHITE PAPER 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet: An Imminent Reality 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet: An Imminent Reality Many of today’s data centers are running 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over both optical fiber and balanced twisted-pair copper cabling in their backbone infrastructure where large numbers of gigabit links aggregate at core devices. As more edge devices; like servers and storage equipment, continue to move to 10 GbE, the next natural progression is for the network core to require even faster connections within the data center. Fortunately, there is a solution that is now an imminent reality. Standards have been in development since 2008, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) will soon release the 802.3ba standard that will support data rates for 40 and 100 GbE over optical fiber cabling. Both cable and connectivity solutions capable of supporting these speeds already exist, and vendors are in the process of developing active equipment. Now is the time to migrate data center cabling infrastructures to support this imminent technology. 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet: An Imminent Reality Key Market Drivers 100 90 From storage and IP traffic growth to the advancement 35% CAGR in Storage Capacity of technology across many market sectors, the drivers 80 that moved data transmission speeds from 1 GbE to 68 10 GbE over the past decade are now expanding as 60 forecasted, creating the need for 40 and 100 GbE. 49 Petabytes 40 37 10 GbE Growth 28 20 20 While the global Ethernet switch market experienced overall decline in 2009, the migration from 1 to 10 0 GbE continued in data centers across the world.
