IEEE Releases 802.3ba Standard
An anonymous reader writes "EEE announced the ratification of IEEE 802.3ba, a new standard governing 40Gbps and 100Gbps Ethernet operations. An amendment to the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3ba, the first standard ever to simultaneously specify two new Ethernet speeds, paves the way for the next generation of high-rate server connectivity and core switching. The new standard will act as the catalyst needed for unlocking innovation across the greater Ethernet ecosystem. IEEE 802.3ba is expected to trigger further expansion of the 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet family of technologies by driving new development efforts, as well as providing new aggregation speeds that will enable 10Gbps Ethernet network deployments."

Good God... somebody modded me as Informative when I wasn't trying to be!
It was developed later, and is now Mrs T's main catchphrase. He still says "fool" a lot, and is very accusatory about it.

Well, if you plan ahead, you account for the attenuation in the cable. You can then counteract it, and get much greater distances. I know the strongest electromagnetic signal in my area is a country radio station, with a tower a few miles away. To counter that, I play hip hop, all day and all night, in my server room. Keeps my distribution switch from getting slowed down and depressed from the country music.
What are we going to do tonight Brain?
