Demonstrated interoperability leads to confidence, which leads to deployment, volume and cost reductions.

I'll be very interested to hear what you have to say about the start of 400GE. Thanks for the link ...

Turning the speed dial

With all the standards activity focused on making all sorts of electrical interfaces run faster and use less power, cost less and enable higher density, is it time to turn the speed dial up on the process?

Dylan, It's not the speed dial on the standards process you have to worry about - its the speed dial ...

It is a myth that the IEEE makes decisions regarding standards, and the importance of opportunities for the industry to gather and drive toward consensus cannot be overstated.

There is quite a bit going on in the Ethernet Watch, including IEEE 802.3 100 Gb/s Backplane and Copper Cable Study Group is pushing forward with the hope of becoming an official task force and much, much more.

A couple of months ago, I blogged about a new 100GbE backplane project on the horizon that might also be leveraged for a narrower cable solution than the current 100GBASE-CR10 option that requires 10 differential pairs in each direction. At the November IEEE Plenary in Dallas, the first steps were taken as a study group was formed to start examining this problem.
