Standards for 100 Gigabit/s Ethernet (members only)
by knoll » Fri May 19, 2006 12:20 am
The 10 Gigabit version of the
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI)" has been named as
"10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface (XAUI)".
This is due to the
Roman number 'X', which stands for
'10'.
The same applies for
XGBASE-x and other
appreviations.
Appreviations for 100G Ethernet have not been found yet and there seem to be two ways to go.
- 10 * 10 = 100 ==> "XX" like "XXAUI" and "XXGBASE-x" etc.
- 100 as Roman number ==> "C" like "CAUI" and "CGBASE-x" etc.
What would you choose as new style for 100G appreviations ?
