Beyond Carrier Ethernet: Making Ethernet Performance-Grade
Category: Software and Web Development, Networking and Communications
Tags: ethernet, computing, ip, network, applications
Overview Off late, virtually all new end-user and most new machine-to-machine applications are designed around the Internet Protocol (IP). Within 99 percent of Local Area Networks (LANs), Ethernet is used to carry those IP packets. Furthermore, Ethernet can carry almost all of the remaining traffic that is not IP-based, making it a natural candidate for enabling convergence. This paper is currently at the beginning of a huge ramp in network bandwidth demand due to the low cost of storage and computing power fueling the growth in video and imaging applications. Throughout its history, Ethernet has proven a unique ability to scale to higher and higher bandwidth while drastically reducing the cost per bit.
