Target Application
Why 10 Gigabit Ethernet for edge or distribution of mid-sized networks?
• The IEEE standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), IEEE Standard 802 3ae - 2002, was ratified ten years
ago. Almost immediately, large enterprises started confidently deploying 10GbE in their corporate backbones,
data centers, and server farms to support high-bandwidth, mission- critical applications.
• Over the years, improvements in 10GbE technology, price, and performance have extended its reach beyond
enterprise data centers to mid-sized networks. Increasing bandwidth requirements and the growth of
enterprise applications are also driving broader deployments of 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
