Ethernet at New Speeds, Deterministic Networking, and Power Over Everything!
Ethernet Evolving: Ethernet at New Speeds, Deterministic Networking, and Power over Everything! Dave Zacks Distinguished System Engineer @DaveZacks Peter Jones Principal Engineer @petergjones #NBASET BRKCRS-3900 #HighBitrate Ethernet Evolving: Ethernet at New Speeds, Deterministic Networking, and Power over Everything! BRKCRS-3900 – Session Overview We have a great session for you today … so sit back, buckle in, and let’s get started! Come to this session to get geared up on the latest developments in Ethernet for Campus and Branch networks. The Ethernet we all know and love is evolving at a rapid pace. With the release of MultiGigabit Ethernet on Cisco's latest Catalyst access switching platforms, you can connect new devices that support MultiGigabit connections at 2.5Gb/s and 5Gb/s over Cat5e/6 copper. No longer are 1Gbps and 10Gbps the only connectivity options – intermediate speeds are now possible. Cisco’s Multigigabit Technology is a key enabler for upcoming 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless deployments, where the Ethernet bandwidth required per AP exceeds 1Gb/s. Multigigabit switches also support other high-bandwidth devices in the Ethernet access layer without requiring expensive and time-consuming re-cabling for 10GBASE-T. We will talk about how Cisco MultiGigabit switches work, and how they will change your network. As well, we will discuss work being done in (and out of) the standards bodies to broaden the footprint for Ethernet, and enable the Internet of Everything. This includes additional Ethernet speeds, capabilities for deterministic networking functionality over an Ethernet infrastructure (precision timing, pre-emption, time scheduling, etc), and of course we need to provide more Power over Ethernet to more devices, in more places, than ever.
