The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) has voted to standardise development of the next generation of Ethernet at 100Gbps. Although the 100Gb standard has been mooted for around a year the official announcement means that work can now begin, with all manufacturers providing input into the new higher speed networking technology.
"While 100Gb Ethernet has been touted in the press, the HSSG took the time to hear presentations and discuss the next speed jump," reported Lucinda Borovick, director of data centre networks at analyst firm IDC. "Ultimately, it was perceived that the ROI requirements would be balanced by the investment in the 10x increase in speed.

Yes light is a factor. It should take 133ms to travel around the earth, but in reality it takes much longer because it has to go through so many servers to reach the final destination.
I've seen a few 10mbit Cisco hubs around, dunno if they're still made though.
Right, because companies and organisations don't have the need for 100Gbit backbones. I was the comms manager for my local University and I can tell you we would love this.
most people's hard drives won't even keep up with 54mbps wireless, btw.

100,000,000 Kbps / 8 bits per byte = 12,500,000 KBps
12,500,000 KBps / 1024 = 12,207.03125 MBps
12,207.03125 MBps / 1024 = 11.920928 GBps
It a 100 Mbit ethernet connection can transfer at 12MB/ps I'd sure hope a 100Gbit connection can do more then 1.2 GB/ps... just multiply the 100Mbit speed by 1000
100,000,000 Kbps / 8 bits per byte = 12,500,000 KBps
12,500,000 KBps / 1024 = 12,207.03125 MBps
12,207.03125 MBps / 1024 = 11.920928 GBps
It a 100 Mbit ethernet connection can transfer at 12MB/ps I'd sure hope a 100Gbit connection can do more then 1.2 GB/ps... just multiply the 100Mbit speed by 1000
why make it so hard (and wrong)? 100Gbps = 100/8 GBps where if follow the standard
b = bit
B = byte

Yeah, I think the guy is confused with the notation for hard drive space.
In networking world, everything is 10 to the power.

100 Gbps = 12,800 MBps
heck just use google to translate it and you get that answer also..... just enter "100Gbps to MBps" and thast what you get... on networks its 2^10 but when you convert it to MBps its 2^8 thats why I did the conversion in there.. I'm converting from how fast the connection is to how fast you can transfer a MB of data 2^8 data... when you download a file and it says downloading at 700KBps its not 2^10.. its 2^8 hence the conversion

negative mate, since 10Gbit Ethernet its only full duplex , half-duplex is not allowed, so.. for a full duplex u need to send n receive at the same time, no collisions there.
and even counting with collisions the acutal packets lost to collisions when u talking about gigs is despicable...
Will we ever need a faster network after 12.5GB/s?
Colonel Sandurz: Prepare ship for light speed.
Dark Helmet: No, no, no, light speed is too slow.
Colonel Sandurz: Light speed, too slow?
Dark Helmet: Yes, we're gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed.
See MadDogs post below. It's highly unlikely that any average home user transfers so much data regularly that they would justify upgrading to 100Gbit intranet. Why does everything developed have to be for the home market? This is a step in the right direction for the corporate environment.

Well, yeah: At the moment, even Gigabit LAN is overkill for the home network, but who knows what we'll all be doing with our home LANs in the future.
This is for larger networks... MAN and WAN.
I don't think anyone knows the exact cable requirements for 100 Gbps networks as they are yet to be specified... ???

Actually, Cat5e supports 1Gb Ethernet

It does, but Cat 6 offers better performance for professional Gigabit LAN installations.
Cat 6 provides performance of up to 250 MHz, while Cat 5e only goes to 100MHz.

[size=3]b]I like all your up's and down's and It was a good read... if you could tell me what cable would run that fast I would like you to say. You should read up on hong kong and the like so that you can know how it's to be run Have fun and give me some more old time reading.
