| Abstract: |
Ethernet has become increasingly important to everyone that uses technology. Up until just a few years ago, the typical user of Ethernet was an IT professional supporting an enterprise network. Today, Ethernet is the grand unifying technology that enables communication of multiple forms of content voice, video and data via the Internet and other networks using Internet Protocol (IP). Because of this, Ethernet is a part of many people's lives, including casual home users who may not even realize they are using Ethernet. Today's content and applications, which are IP-friendly, are passed seamlessly through a complex Ethernet ecosystem between carrier networks, enterprise networks, and consumers. From its origin more than 30 years ago, Ethernet has evolved to meet the increasing demands of IP packet- switched networks. Due to Ethernet's proven low implementation cost, its known reliability, and relative simplicity of installation and maintenance, its popularity has grown to the point that today nearly all traffic on the Internet starts or ends on an Ethernet connection. |

| Abstract: |
The purpose of this article is to discuss the concept of Bit Error Ratio testing, and will explain, using a minimum amount of math, the answer to the fairly common question: "How many bits do I need to send in order to verify that a devices exceeds a given BER?" |
