Ethernet's top speed could hit 40 gigabits per second within the next two years, a senior Cisco Systems executive says.
Developing 40GB Ethernet is a simpler technical challenge than creating a 100GB Ethernet technology, which would be the next mathematical step, according to Luca Cafiero, senior vice president and general manager of switching, voice, and storage at Cisco. In fact, 40GB Ethernet should be technically feasible within two years, he said on Wednesday in a briefing on switching at Cisco's headquarters in San Jose, California.
