10 Terabit Ethernet By 2010

Eric Frost writes "From Directions Magazine: 'Because it is now impossible to sell networking unless it is called Ethernet (regardless of the actual protocols used), it is likely that 1 Terabit Ethernet and even 10 Terabit Ethernet (using 100 wavelengths used by 100 gigabit per second transmitter / receiver pairs) may soon be announced. Only a protocol name change is needed. And the name change is merely the acknowledgment that Ethernet protocols can tunnel through other protocols (and vice versa).'"

WOOO terabit ethernet..

whoopdedoo..

nevermind that a ATM OC-48 link will still push more raw bandwidth..

ethernet.. pfft... it's a hack to even put QOS on it.. MPLS and crap.. who needs it..

Personally i'd like gigabit tokenring.. but much like the VHS/BETAMAX debate.. token ring was passed up for crappier technology..

Just think of the collisions from geeks with terabit ethernet connected to their crappy 128K DSL link trying to download the latest LOTR trailer.

Ethernet.. when will it just die and go away.. there is so much better technology.

Rubbish Ariticle

Article has far too many (uneccessary) parentheses (brackets) makes random claims (must be called Ethernet) than doesnt back any of its claims up. It's not even (slightly) interesting (but at least it wasnt an advert)

You think you're so smart because you know how apostrophes work, but even you must respect Gary Coleman; as a candidate for Governor of California, he represents the best of what Gay Niggers all over the world strive to be! Represent on that semicolon shiznonkey, my comrade!
