10-Gigabit Ethernet Standard Approved
Quote:
A little birdie brings news that that 802.3ae standard for 10 Gigabit/second Ethernet has been approved. Everyone out there with Gigabit Ethernet - you are now officially obsolete. The new standard is fiber only, no more of that nasty copper stuff.

The note below says it all.

My profound thanks to all who have participated and especially those that have dedicated much of their life during the last three+ years to a rather magnificent piece of work. I sincerely hope that you and your companies will benefit greatly from this standard. Humanity at large certainly will.

I could fill volumes with accolades. Instead, let me simply say two things. I have been honored to have worked with such a great group; I appreciate the raw intelligence; the mutual respect; the dignity; and the integrity represented in our Task Force; I have never worked with, and doubt I will ever again work with a better class of people.

During the last 3 years, I have received a significant number of compliments regarding my work as chair. I have attempted to graciously accept these. But, I have always known, and attempted to make it clear, that my effort was not and is not of primary consequence. The credit truly belongs to you. This isn't some insincere attempt at humility. It is, simply, the truth.

Congratulations, Well Done,

Jonathan Thatcher
Soon-to-be IEEE P802.3ae X-Chair

You've made my day Phantasm - you know how much I complain about network bandwidth.

Now where's this supposed OC-768?

For those of you who do not know what OC-768 is, I will illustrate it with one number, an acronym and a word: 51.85 mb/s Internet
