The Ethernet Alliance Welcomes Nine New Members to Its Roster.The Ethernet Alliance The Ethernet Alliance includes component suppliers, industry experts, university and government professionals who formed a consortium to promote industry awareness, acceptance and advancement of Ethernet technology and products based on existing and emerging IEEE 802 Ethernet Announces the Availability of Four New White Papers and a Member-Only Research Report on 10GbE Adoption MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- The Ethernet Alliance today announced the addition of nine new members including Brocade, Dune Networks, International Engineering Consortium (IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission ), LSI Corporation LSI Logic Corporation was founded in Milpitas, CA by Wilfred Corrigan in 1981 after he left as CEO of Fairchild Semiconductor in 1979. The other three founders were Bill O'Meara (marketing and sales), Rob Walker (engineering) and Mitchell "Mick" Bohn (finance). , Marvell Semiconductors, Mellanox Technologies, Plastic Optical Fiber Plastic optical fiber (POF) is an optical fiber which is made out of plastic. traditionally PMMA (acrylic) is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material. Trade Organization (POFTO), SMC Networks and Woven Systems. "I am pleased to announce the addition of all our new members that include both technology vendors and industry organizations," said Brad Booth, president, Ethernet Alliance. "This diversity in our membership allows Ethernet Alliance members to take advantage of networking and research within the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802[TM] Ethernet ecosystem, ultimately furthering the advancement and promotion of the technology." Industry white papers and member-only research report available now on the Ethernet Alliance website The Ethernet Alliance announces the availability of the following white papers: * "Overview of Requirements and Applications for 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet" Authors: Mark Nowell, Cisco; Vijay Vusirikala, Infinera; and Robert Hays, Intel. Summary: The white paper outlines the growing bandwidth requirements in the enterprise computing environment, the aggregation effects in the data center and service provider networks, specifically looking at 40GbE and 100GbE. * Ethernet in Entertainment Networks Author: Michael M. Lay, Strand Lighting, Inc. Summary: This white paper looks at the integration of commercially available Ethernet products in the entertainment industry. * 10GBASE-T: 10Gigabit Ethernet over Twisted-pair Copper Authors: David Law, 3Com; Brad Booth, Applied Micro Circuits Corporation Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCC) is a fabless semiconductor company designing network and embedded Power Architecture (including a Power Architecture license), optical transport and storage solutions. (AMCC AMCC Applied Micro Circuits Corporation AMCC Air Mobility Control Center AMCC Ashore Mobile Contingency Communications AMCC Advanced Materials Commercialization Center AMCC allied movement coordination center (US DoD) ); Paul Kish, Belden; Hugh Barrass, Cisco; Michael Bennett, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, scientific research centers run by the Univ. of California, located in Berkeley, Calif., and Livermore, Calif., respectively. ; Chris DiMinico, MC Communications; Bruce Tolley, Solarflare Communications; George Zimmerman, Solarflare Communications; Shimon Muller, Sun Microsystems Summary: This white paper addresses the reason for 10GBASE-T, how it works and how you use it. * Ethernet in Avionics Networks Author: Larry Hannett, LCH LCH Launch LCH London Clearing House LCH Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (medicine; immune system disorder) LCH Latch LCH Light Combat Helicopter LCH Lake Charles, LA, USA - Municipal (Airport Code) Engineering Summary: The subject of this white paper is the development of FDSE (Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet) See full-duplex Ethernet. FDSE - full-duplex Switched Ethernet for use in Avionics networks, and the desirability of simple-to-analyze and deterministic network behavior in knowing where each packet is going and how long it takes to get to its final destination.
