Since the AV world has gone a little crazy over Ethernet and IP, I decided to try to learn more about each by using books and web sources. To my surprise, it seems as though there is not uniform ...

Ethernet and Sonet are on a crash course. With Ethernet continuing to push its way out of the enterprise into the access and metro sectors, developers of Sonet equipment are being pushed to map ...

Gigabit Ethernet, a transmission technology based on the Ethernet frame format and protocol used in local area networks (LANs), provides a data rate of 1 billion bits per second (one gigabit). Gigabit ...

The origin of Ethernet began some 25 years ago, and over time, has evolved to meet the increasing demands of packet switched networks. Today, Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3z) has become a mainstay ...

After about four years of work, the IEEE 802.3ba Task Force has ratified the 802.3ba Ethernet standard. It covers communications with Ethernet at 40 and 100 Gbits/s across backplanes, copper cabling, ...

An IEEE task force is nearing completion of a standard to run Ethernet at a blistering 10 gigabits per second, which will mean an Ethernet that’s not only 10 times faster, but also more widespread ...
