IEEE Supports 100G as Next Ethernet Speed
 

Just as gigabit Ethernet starts making its way into the mainstream, the Ethernet Alliance today announced the next jump in networking. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) voted to support 100 Gb/s as the next speed. In addition, the IEEE 802.3 HSSG also agreed to support reaches of at least 100 meters on OM3 MMF (multimode fiber) and of at least 10km on SMF (single-mode fiber).
