Gigabit Ethernet, a transmission technology based on the Ethernet frame format and protocol used in local area networks (LANs), provides a data rate of 1 billion bits per second (one gigabit). Gigabit ...

Ethernet and Sonet are on a crash course. With Ethernet continuing to push its way out of the enterprise into the access and metro sectors, developers of Sonet equipment are being pushed to map ...

An IEEE task force is nearing completion of a standard to run Ethernet at a blistering 10 gigabits per second, which will mean an Ethernet that’s not only 10 times faster, but also more widespread ...

After about four years of work, the IEEE 802.3ba Task Force has ratified the 802.3ba Ethernet standard. It covers communications with Ethernet at 40 and 100 Gbits/s across backplanes, copper cabling, ...

The 40G/100G Ethernet standard has been ratified, the first specification to simultaneously utilize two new Ethernet speeds. The IEEE 802.3ba standard was ratified last Thursday, according to the IEEE ...

Wired data connections will never be entirely replaced by wireless ones, but the Ethernet protocol still has some design constraints that limit the performance of certain data transfers. One way to ...

This application note presents configuration of eZ80F91 microcontroller to enable communication through an Ethernet cable. Data is transferred from one eZ80F91 device to another eZ80F91 device, and ...

“But VEPA enables a hairpin mode to allow the frame to be forwarded out the port it came in on. It allows it to turn around and go back.” VEPA does not modify the Ethernet frame format but only the ...
