In 2010, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - IEEE - approved specifications of the new version standard Ethernet, through which you can transfer data at up to 100 Gbit / s. However, such requirements for bandwidth networks are rarely imposed, and is now widely used to receive 10 Gigabit Ethernet
However, IEEE experts will not stop working on the interface: press release announced to the public that was formed by the research team, which will increase the capacity of the port Ethernet to 400 Gbit / s. According to the organization, hard work capacity bandwidth facilitates fast growing audience of active Internet users.
This year, on 22 May, the standard Ethernet celebrate its forty-year anniversary. The first implementation of Ethernet could boast a capacity of 3 Mbit / s.
In 2015 IEEE hopes to increase the throughput of the Ethernet ports up to 1 terabit per second. If the development plan will be observed later, in 2020 completed the standard, the proposed transfer data at speeds up to 10 Tbit / s.
