| Abstract |
|
During recent years a growing trend towards IP/Ethernet transport technologies can be observed for local area, access, metro and core networks, and it is a common understanding that Ethernet will be the dominant transport technology of next generation metro/core networks. The expected strong growth of traffic in data networks combined with high pressure on transport costs will lead to a strong demand for the next generation of Ethernet technology soon. 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100 GbE) is expected to be the next logical evolution step after 10 GbE and according standardisation activities are already under discussion. Moreover, this major technological step has to be done in line with the evolution of a flexible broadband next generation metro/backbone network including the convergence of Ethernet with optical transport technologies (SDH/SONET, OTH, WDM). The 100GET project addresses new networking concepts and physical layer technologies for next generation Ethernet-based transport networks (beyond 10GbE). |
