Recently, the
IEEE announced the formation of a
study group to look into how to make 400 Gbps ethernet work. Good timing on a recent
Bell Labs announcement Not only have they demonstrated 400 Gbps transmission, but it was done over a distance of 12,800km!! The article doesn't specifically mention, but strongly implies, that this distance was un-amplified which is simply amazing.
This is being announced as 100Gbps adoption is ramping up, both commercially (
CenturyLink and
Verizon) and in the research networks (
Internet2 & ESnet and
OARnet as examples).
