BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ethernet Alliance, a global consortium dedicated to the continued success and advancement of Ethernet technologies, today announced its next multivendor plugfest will take place this week, June 26 – 30, 2017, at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) in Durham, N.H. The test event focuses on 25GBASE-R and 100GBASE-R high-speed Ethernet technologies.

“One fundamental aspect of Ethernet is its ongoing cycle of continuous improvement and evolution. 25GBASE-R and 100GBASE-R are important milestones...

The 25G Ethernet Consortium completed the first 25G and 50G Ethernet plugfest at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) in Durham, New Hampshire, reporting record participation from the vendor community.

During the plugfest, 16 companies attended the week-long event where they engaged in a wide variety of test scenarios including auto-negotiation and stressed conditions.

These companies focused on vendor interoperability including adapters, switches, test and measurement devices, and interconnects. Additional areas of focus centered on proving...

IP traffic is predicted to grow 10 fold in less than 10 years. This fact alone speaks to why even incremental increases in Ethernet speeds are important. The ever-rising demand for data is driven by cloud services and already can be seen in early Internet of Things devices. This trend helped lead to development of the 25 Gigabit Ethernet data rates. Even though the technology is rather new, in the two years since the 25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium was created,...
