John, In the CFI presentation
there was a chart showing the expected market adoption of a higher speed
Ethernet over time. First wave shown was: Internet Exchanges,
ISP Backbones, Content Providers Second wave shown was: ISP Aggregation,
Supercomputing / R&D, Broadband Aggregation Third wave shown was: Campus Backbone,
Corporate Backbone, In the same presentation
there were categories for reach targets: Backplane up to 1m VSR up to 25 m SR up to 100 m LR up to 40 Km VLR beyond 40Km Assuming that the market
adoption projection above is correct we should match the reach definitions to
these applications and see what that means regarding the priorities for our
work, i.e. : (1) Internet Exchange = SR, ISP Backbone =
? , Content Providers = SR (2) ISP Aggregation = ?, Supercomputing /
R&D = SR, Broadband Aggregation = ? (3) Campus Backbone = LR, Corporate
Backbone = VLR, Corporate What are
the answers to the question marks above? Regards, Menachem From: John DAmbrosia
[mailto:jdambrosia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] All, I would like to thank all those who have joined the
reflector and will be bringing information and requirements to the table in the
future. I am sure we are going to have a lot of “fun” in the
future. During our first meeting, I anticipate spending a lot of
time focusing on objectives. At the closing plenary I highlighted two
issues / objectives that the SG would have to consider: ·
Tradition of 10x
leap in speed ·
Multiple Reach
Targets It was also presented that the focus of this effort
wasn’t for a desktop application, and that the cost model needs to be
considered. I want to encourage everyone to start thinking about these
areas and to use the reflector for discussion. This will assist everyone
in providing well-thought out presentations, which will make for a better and
more productive meeting in September. J John D’Ambrosia Force10 Networks Phone – 717-460-8535 |
