Ethernet is the new king, agreed Nasser Hiekali, Founder, President and CEO of Lantern Communications . While 10 Gbps traffic rates have become the unit of currency in haul networks, an efficient mechanism is still missing for distributing this capacity in metro rings. Lantern s solution will be based on 10 Gbps physical layer technology combined with Ethernet and arranged into Resilient Packet Ring architecture. The Internet and Ethernet will become synonymous, predicted Jonathan Thatcher, CTO of World Wide Packets and Chair of the IEEE 10 Gbps Ethernet standards committee, bringing truly disruptive economics to the networking industry. The vision is for cheap Gigabit Ethernet Internet access over fiber available everywhere offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, and homes.
Resistance is futile.
