Cabletron: A Smarter Gigabit Ethernet Solution

摘要

Today's networks are seeing exponential growth in traffic because of the increase in business-critical, bandwidth-heavy applications on corporate intranets and extranets. With its inherent speed and standards-based interoperability with existing equipment, gigabit Ethernet quickly helps solve this problem...to a certain extent. However, many other important issues related to network performance—reliability, functionality, capacity and manageability—must also be addressed before gigabit Ethernet can be considered the preferred solution in customers' growing enterprise environments.
