As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a recent report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications and networking industries, the percentage of chassis (or modular) switch port shipments compared to total Ethernet Switch port shipments will stabilize in the first half of this year and start to rebound by the end of 2008 after many years of decline. "There are two main drivers for upcoming shift towards modular products," said Alan Weckel, Senior Analyst of Dell'Oro Group. "First, as datacenter bandwidth requirements Bandwidth requirements (communications) The channel bandwidths needed to transmit various types of signals, using various processing schemes. Every signal observed in practice can be expressed as a sum (discrete or over a frequency continuum) of sinusoidal continue to grow, there will be a need for higher backplane capacity products. These products are needed today to accommodate 10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. as an aggregation technology, and will be in the future as a direct server connection. Second, we expect significant and compelling chassis switch introductions from both existing vendors and new entrants will help drive sales," added Weckel.
