New Ethernet Standard Suggested

[Nightglow]

Thought your gigabit network was fast, well they are talking of terabit Ethernet now.

Bring it on! Network transfer speeds are often an annoying bottleneck even at Gigabit speeds. This can only be good news.

and we don't get that nasty buffering crap when watching a video from a high-speed connection

With a decent switch and multiple port merging, you can achieve 5GBps on standard cat5/6.

Realistically we won't see this for 10 years.

The jump to 2 or 3 GBps would be very welcomed by me

Nic Teaming can achieve high speeds too.

Considering large compute firms like Facebook are screaming for connections greater than 100Gbit, is anyone surprised?

Here's report which confirms / backs up the decisions:

Lots of big numbers
