Erin Dunne, director of research at Vertical Systems Group, says companies migrating from frame relay and ATM are moving to Ethernet faster than those using private lines, including T-1s and higher.

The IEEE 802.3as group had been considering frame sizes ranging from 1,650 bytes to 2,048 bytes. The request for a change had come from IEEE 802.1 – to support 802.1ad, 802.1AE, and other functions.

The IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet) task force is currently working on a new Ethernet standard that will greatly reduce the energy consumption of Ethernet transceivers [3]. Additional energy ...

The minimum (64 bytes) and maximum (1,518 bytes) frame lengths haven’t changed and the Ethernet frame format also remains in place, so a stream of 10G Ethernet frames will look the same as any ...

Physical layer — Wires, circuits, connectors, hardware (bit layer). Data link — In Ethernet, it is the frame. It provides the basic means of getting data around the local physical network (frame layer ...

Trust us, gigabit Ethernet is worth having, given today's low prices. We asked D-Link, Linksys and Netgear -- all keen participants in this new market -- to send us a 10/100/1000Mbps switch and a ...
