A Cisco e Comcast tiveram resultados positivos na primeira ligação a 100 Gigabits ethernet por segundo, aproxima-se o tempo das comunicações ao preço de batatas fritas. A tecnologia usa a infraestrutura existente de fibra óptica. Estamos a falar de um interface de rede com capacidade para 100GbE

Tudo isto pouco tempo de pois de terem sido feitos outros testes.

JUNE 26, 2008 — Comcast Corp. (search for Comcast) says it has successfully completed a 100-Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) technology test over its existing backbone infrastructure between Philadelphia and McLean, VA using the 100GbE router interface developed for the Cisco (search for Cisco) CRS-1 routing system.

The Cisco CRS-1 100GbE interface uses Comcast’s existing optical infrastructure to enable transmission of 100GbE over DWDM networks. The technology is designed to enable carriers to increase bandwidth per wavelength by a factor of 10 and create efficiencies by simplifying routing and operations through the use of statistically multiplexed 100GbE links.
