This white paper describes the major benefits and key applications of 10-gigabit Ethernet, a cost-effective and reliable high-speed technology for all segments of the network, including LAN, MAN, and WAN connections. The traditional view of Ethernet as only a wire-based LAN protocol is not only limited, it is no longer true. Now, in the midst of an Ethernet renaissance driven by sweeping transformations in global communications, commerce, and content delivery—and with new optical-based technologies and highspeed silicon—Ethernet is being taken into the wide area network (WAN).
