IEEE said it launched an IEEE 802.3 “Standard for Ethernet” study group to explore development of a 400 Gbps Ethernet standard to support “exponential” network bandwidth growth (http://bit.ly/10vMiSv). Citing more Internet users, more ways to access the Internet, higher bandwidth…

content and expanding applications, John D'Ambrosia, chair of the IEEE 802.3 400 Gb/s Ethernet Study Group and chief Ethernet evangelist in Dell’s CTO office, said Tuesday it’s critical to create a plan for the evolution of the Ethernet to accommodate “the burgeoning bandwidth tsunami.” The launch of the study group follows two years of open efforts to tackle the market’s “emerging application” needs, D'Ambrosia said. According to an IEEE report on 802.3 bandwidth assessment, networks will need to support 58 percent compound annual growth rates on average. The rise in users, access methodologies, video on demand and social media will lead to support capacity requirements of 1 terabit per second in 2015 and 10 terabits per second by 2020, based on current trends, he said. The Ethernet study group is scheduled to meet during the IEEE 802.1/802.3 joint interim meeting May 14-17 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (http://conta.cc/YQj6si).
