re gige: As long as we're discussing reading material, the July 2001 Cook report contains two good interviews on Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) with Howard Frazier [ex-Cisco, now-Dominet] and WorldWidePacket's Jonathan Thatcher. 10 gige is discussed sporadically throughout, along with three variations of outside plant (Ethernet over UTP, P-P Fiber, and P-MP Fiber PONs, or EPONs) with implications to the greater 'Net's backbone, and other architectural opportunities/implications. http://www.cookreport.com FAC ------Original Message------ From: "Nipper, Arnold" <[email protected]> To: Frank Coluccio <[email protected]>, dave o'leary <[email protected]>, Mike Leber <[email protected]>, Vinay Bannai <[email protected]> Sent: May 11, 2001 6:10:40 PM GMT Subject: Re: 10 gige experience http://www.nwfusion.com/research/2001/0507feat3.html might also be interesting ...
