10-Gigabit Ethernet Standard Approved

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the faster-pr0n dept.

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.

    I thought the time honoured (and extremely relevant) measure of LoC/s has been officially replaced with HG/s (Human Genomes per second)? Mostly because it allowed for a lot more flexibility in making up figures that don't really tell you much, if I remember correctly.
