10GBASE-T

I was thinking of sticking Cat 6a/7 into my girlfriends place, cable wasn't light years more than the Cat5e/6.

I then looked at the hardware and lol'd It was more of a gimick (future proof) than anything but just gave up and hopefully I'll be able to pull new cables under the floor the same way.. in 10 years time

Try using multiple gigabit connections and bonding.

Really don't bother, it's an enterprise technique and you will not get 2Gbit transfers from workstation to workstation with the standard protocols. It requires multi flows for it to be useful.

This if a family forum, please refrain from being so lewd

You should run CAT6 if possible, it's good for 10gbit up to 40metres.

Technically Cat5e will do 10gbit over 3 metres, but again, it's a bit of a shot in the dark.

Something is up, then. Even full Blu-ray movies are 40mbit/sec which shouldn't even come close to causing problems for a 100mbit network. If you're using MKVs or similar containers then you're looking at a bitrate of around a quarter of that, so call it 10 to 15mbit.

Again, even a full untouched Blu-ray will stream fine over a 100mbit network, with plenty of bandwidth to spare.

Mega busy atm so will check it soon.

Transcoding over ps3media server btw.

I think I've heard it all now, 10G ethernet setup for a home network, you must be insane!

I'd also like to point out, I'm currently doing some work for one of the big hosting companies - more than 15,000 customer servers, you know how many are connected at 10GigE? Not a single one. We use it for transit and peering connections yeah and plenty of intersite links are multiple 10Gbit links, but not a single server is connected with it.

I wish poeple would use the correct case when quoting MB megabytes vis Mb megabits.
