About Ethernet Technology Summit

Ethernet Technology Summit focuses on the use of Ethernet throughout the networking space. This includes the emergence of 10-Gigabit Ethernet as a key LAN technology on the desktop and in data centers. It also covers the ongoing standardization effort for 40-Gigabit and 100-Gigabit Ethernet. It also includes the use of Ethernet as a carrier backbone and transport method, as well as in wireless, industrial, embedded, and storage applications. To meet carrier needs, the Ethernet ecosystem must include quality-of-service guarantees, management tools (so-called operations, administration, and management or OAM), performance analysis, high availability, scalability, security, and service-level agreements. Other topics of interest include low power systems, power-over-Ethernet, Ethernet as a home networking technology, backplane Ethernet, and embedded Ethernet.
