| "Over time, Ethernet will overwhelm SONET in the
MAN/WAN market. Ethernet is cheaper, has better economies of scale and allows for simpler, more
unified networks. Ethernet is at the gates, and it's coming in."

"The market for managed metro Ethernet services is expected to grow by 30 per cent a year until
2010, when it will top $25 billion worldwide."

Gigabit Ethernet is the future of networking
Ethernet quite simply is, plugging your network directly into a telecom provider's
network. When you bypass the local phone company you cut out an expensive transport step. Having
direct access to customers is a carrier's goal as it allows them to control the user's experience
from end to end while reducing cost. These savings are passed on to you.
The growing number of complex, mission-critical applications of today need more and
more bandwidth than that offered by existing network configurations. The typical 10 Mbps Ethernet
LAN becomes inadequate because it cannot maintain acceptable performance for the Client/Server
environment. As audio and streaming video becomes increasingly important, the networked world needed
to find a faster technology to accommodate bandwidth demands. Even though Fast Ethernet, which runs
at at 100 Mbps, arrived at the networking arena in the mid 1990's, the existence of Fiber Optics or
FDDI (100 Mbps) running at the carriers backbone level. Thus, the evolution of Gigabit Ethernet took
place, providing a technology solution to the increasing bandwidth problem.
The reason why Ethernet is chosen over
the other technologies is due to its many benefits:
-
Price Reduction
-
Scalability
-
Interoperability
-
Ease of Use
-
Monitoring Capabilities
-
Reliability
-
Established Standards
