| "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
