Ethernet Alliance Presentations
SBS 2006 The State of IEEE 802.3ap Backplane Ethernet: (405KB, pdf)
DesignCon 2006 The Impact of the Ethernet Ecosystem on Backplane and System Design: (2MB, pdf) Topics addressed are backplane design and board fabrication, advanced signal conditioning, overall capacity forecasts, power requirements, integrity and others.
DesignCon 2006 The State of the IEEE 802.3ap Backplane Ethernet: (957KB, pdf) Review of the current state of the specification and the underlying architecture of Backplane Ethernet. Also, a detailed review of the analysis leading the selection of the 10GBASE-KR signaling scheme and backplane channel model.
DesignCon 2006 The Need for 100G Ethernet: (1.94MB, pdf) Describes the features that next-generation devices must possess if they are to successfully support terabit scale traffic aggregation, reduce the number of network devices--while enabling very high applicaion availability--and therefore transform network architectures.
DesignCon 2006 An Overview of 10GBaseT: (453KB, pdf) Moving 10-Gigabit Ethernet onto UTP: Moving 10GE into a volume platform. Two challenges exist as 10GE is extended beyond its initial role. Achieving 10 Gbps on copper UTP cabling is a significant technical achievement. Meeting the application's requirements for low power is also needed for 10GBASE-T to meet its full potential.
DesignCon 2006 Ethernet Alliance Information Session: (3MB, pdf) Includes a general overview of the Ethernet Alliance, including the Technical Committee, Marketing Committee, Membership, Activities and Objectives
A Bit of History (49KB, pdf) January 2006, Document Summary - A historical perspective of Ethernet. A look at the history of Ethernet from its fledgling days in the labs of Xerox PARC with Metcalfe and Boggs to its current trends with 10 Gigabit Ethernet. |
