White Paper Three service delivery technologies can be used to provide Ethernet services - namely, IEEE 802.1Q Virtual LANs (VLANs), Q-in-Q (stacked VLANs) and MAC-in-MAC (or M-in-M). Ethernet had its origins in providing network connectivity for a single... [15 Sep 2007]
Metro IP Technology and Architecture White Paper
White Paper These include the explosion of bandwidth in local-area networks (LANs), the deployment of low-cost Gigabit Ethernet and the growth of dense wavelength Tremendous technology developments are transforming the dynamics of the metropolitan-area network... [25 Jun 2007]
A Comparative Analysis of High-Speed Switching for Backbone LANs: Fast Ethernet, FDDI, and Fibre Channel
White Paper The four leading contenders are ATM, Switched Fast Ethernet, Switched FDDI, and Fibre Channel. LAN switching has proven its value in boosting available bandwidth while protecting investments in cabling and network interface cards (NICs). [22 Jun 2007]
Taking the Skeletons Out of the Closets: A Simple and Efficient Topology Discovery Scheme for Large Ethernet LANs
White Paper This paper proposes a simple and efficient algorithmic solution for discovering the physical topology of large, heterogeneous Ethernet LANs that may include multiple subnets as well as uncooperative network elements, like hubs. [13 Dec 2006]
Intel I/O Acceleration Technology: Practical Concerns, Considerations, and Benefits
White Paper Included in the introduction is a discussion of the data flow challenges presented by sending and receiving TCP/IP traffic over Ethernet LANs. This presentation provides system designers and software developers with a brief introduction to Intel I... [04 Nov 2006]
The Value of Subscribing to Managed Metro Ethernet Services From Service Providers With Cisco QoS Certification
White Paper The paper begins by describing how Ethernet has evolved from a technology exclusive to LANs to one equally at home in WANs - the "Metropolitan area. By extending Ethernet to the WAN, one can better control the communications; take advantage of... [09 Aug 2006]
Metro Ethernet as a Wide Area Technology and Why It Must Be Secured
White Paper A Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) connects geographically separated enterprise LANs in a metro area using Ethernet. In response, the use of Ethernet-based MANs has grown in popularity, and, thus, the term "Metro Ethernet" has emerged. [30 Jun 2006]
Light Weight Token for Authentication/Authorization for Mobile Wi-Fi Networks
White Paper Wireless LANs communicate by radio waves that travel between a WLAN client running on a laptop or other computing device and an access point, which links wireless users to a wired Ethernet network. The buzz word that is re-energizing a struggling... [16 Jun 2006]
London to get citywide Ethernet LANs from BT
News BT will offer Ethernet networks that span London, in a new virtual private LAN service (VPLS) that forms a stepping stone to its much-heralded 21st Century Network (21CN). The Ethernet Virtual LAN (Evlan) service extends BT's existing LAN/SAN... [15 Sep 2005]
Enterprise Mobility - It's More Than Connecting on the Go
White Paper And users should be able to connect in many ways when they are away from their offices - such as via wireless LANs (WLANs), from an Ethernet jack in a hotel room over DSL or cable modem connections from home, or someday with WiMax. [02 Aug 2005]
Wireless LANs: Security, Reliability and Scalability Issues
White Paper Today, as IEEE 802.11 (or Wi-Fi)-based Wireless LANs (WLANs) are being widely accepted for many different applications, efforts are being made across industry and standards groups to enhance many aspects of this wireless Ethernet technology... [30 Jun 2005]
Los Alamos National Lab Smashes Networking Records With Intel's 10-Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter
White Paper The solution was to demonstrate that the Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter sets the stage for 10 Gigabit Ethernet to become an all-encompassing technology for local-area, storage-area, system-area, metropolitan-area and wide-area networks (LANs... [17 Jun 2005]
Intel White Paper: Scale Up Server Bandwidth With Multi-port Gigabit Adapters
White Paper Simple, small-office LANs as well as multi-tiered datacenters can maximize network availability, reliability and performance by using Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapters. This paper provides an overview of how Intel® PRO Server Adapters address the... [15 Jun 2005]
Revisiting Link-Layer Storage Networking
White Paper It examines how advances in data communication technology such as virtual LANs and switched gigabit Ethernet make it relatively simple and inexpensive to re-centralize the storage resources used by clusters of workstations and servers. [11 Apr 2005]
Deploying Gigabit Ethernet to the Desktop: Drivers and Applications
White Paper Gigabit Ethernet has emerged as the technology of choice in LANs. Recently, use of 1000BASE-T, designed for use over unshielded twisted pair copper cable, has grown rapidly as users discover the performance benefits of Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop. [08 Sep 2004]
