Broadband Internet Access using Gigabit Ethernet over Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) Networks
The popularity of the Internet leads to an increasing number of emerging applications operating with the corresponding Internet protocol (IP). High bandwidth transmission over Internet links is one building block to provide audio & video applications apart from common data transport over the Internet protocol, thus enabling applications like computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). While the...
متن کاملLossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet: The Unifying Infrastructure for SAN and LAN Consolidation
To meet these challenges, organizations must build a single network infrastructure that unifies traditional server I/O, storage, and network operations to more efficiently support evolving business applications. This document describes how a Unified Fabric, proposed by Cisco and NetApp, enables convergence of SAN traffic over an Ethernet and compares the performance of Fibre Channel over Ethern...
متن کاملSingle-Chip, 10-Gigabit Ethernet Switch LSI
To develop flexible, highly reliable IT systems, there is an emerging need to provide compact, low-cost, and low-latency 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches to interconnect highspeed servers and large storage systems. To meet this need, Fujitsu has developed the world's first single-chip, 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch LSI. This LSI features twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface ports that support layer-2 ...
متن کاملA Novel and Simple MAC Protocol for High Speed Passive Optical LANs
In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol for Gigabit Local Area Networks, called the Request Contention Multiple Access (RCMA) protocol. RCMA is proposed to operate in the 10BASE-FP Ethernet network topology at a gigabit data rate. It does not require the sophisticated WDM technology. Unlike the current IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet MAC protocol, RCMA is efficient and stable for a wide range...
متن کاملStorage Performance over Fast Ethernet, Giga Ethernet, Giga Ethernet TOE and InfiniBand
The performance of network storage systems is often limited by overheads in the I/O path, such as memory copying, network access costs, and protocol overhead. As a result, I/O remains the bottleneck for high-performance data-intensive applications. This paper examines different communication transports and their effect on network storage system’s performance. To accomplish the proposed study, w...
