EXISTING ETHERNET
Ethernet - family of frame-based computer
networking technologies for LAN
It is standardized as IEEE 802.3
Ethernet is an evolving technology
Evolution includes higher bandwidth, improved
media access control & changes in physical medium
Ethernet connects point-to-point links in LAN
Fastest standard implemented is 10 GBE
NEED FOR HIGER SPEED ETHERNET
Different access opportunities.
Increasing service types.
Server will require 40 gbe sooner with
several 1000’s of port .
The growth in bandwidth for network
aggregation applications found to outpace
the capabilities of n/w employing 10 GBE.
INTRODUCTION TO 100 GB
ETHERNET
40GbE and 100GbE Ethernet standards are
developed by IEEE P802.3ba Ethernet Task Force .

It started in Nov-2007.

It was ratified in June 2010.

Support sending frames at 40 and 100 Gbit/s.

OBJECTIVES:
Support full-duplex operation only

Preserve 802.3 Ethernet frame format.

Preserve minimum and maximum frame size of
current 802.3 standard.
Support a bit error rate (BER) better than or equal to 10-12at
the MAC/ physical layer service interface.
Provide appropriate support for optical transport network
(OTN)
Support MAC data rate of 40 & 100Gbit/s.
Provide PHY for operation over SMF,OM3-MMF,cu cable
assembly & backplane.
PHYSICAL LAYER SPECIFICATION:
ARCHITECTURE:
LLC-Logical Link Control
MAC-Medium Access Control
PCS-Physical Coding Sublayer
PMA-Physical Medium Attachment
PMD-Physical Medium Dependent
CGMII-100gb Media independent Interface
Layer Architechure:

PCS-Physical Coding Sublayer

PMD-Physical Medium Dependent
PMA-Physical Medium Attachment
Physical Coding Sublayer(PCS):
PCS translates between respective media independent
interface (MII) and the PMA sub layer.
The PCS encodes data bits into code groups for
transmission via PMA and the decoding.
PCS will support future PHY types that may be developed
Provide frame delineation
Transportation of control signals
Stripe and re-assemble the information across multiple
lanes
Physical Medium Attachment(PMA):
The PMA interconnects the PCS to the PMD

Contains functions for transmission, reception &

collision detection, clock recovery.

PMA sub layer will focus on the transmission ,

reception & clock recovery aspects of PMA function
Physical Medium Dependent(PMD):
These sub layers define physical layer 
It is responsible for the transmission and reception of
individual bits on a physical medium
It encompass bit timing, signal encoding, interacting
with the physical medium, and the cable or wire itself.
CGMII-Media Independent Interface
logical interfaces between the MAC and the PCS
The interface provides 64 bit wide transmit and
receive data paths.
This is a wide high speed interface
It is not a physical , inter-chip interface but is
specified as a logical, intra-chip, interface.
OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORK
(OTN)
100Gbit/s transmission not only increases the
bandwidth of interfaces and throughput of the links ,
but impact the entire network.
For this OTN(optical transport network)is used
It supports different service classes and offers good
network utilization
A new optical transport unit, called OTU4, for
transparent transport of 100GbE in a single channel is
devolping.
COARSE WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING
COMPARISION:
Cost:
Total link cost for 40 GbE systems using singlemode
cabling costs three times more than multimode
system.

 For 100 GbE singlemode system can cost nearly 10

times more than a multimode system.

Total Link Cost $10,900, estimated

speed
ADVANTAGES:
Increasing no. of end users.
Different access opportunities.
Increasing service types
Support a MAC data rate of 100 gigabit per second
Two other architectural implementations of 100gbe:
1. 100GBASE-LR4, which is defined as 4 wavelength at
25 gigabit per second per wavelength
2. 100GBASE-SR10, which is defined as 10 wavelengths
across 10 parallel fiber paths at 10 gigabit per second
FUTURE SCOPE:
Extensions after 100gbe is 400gbe and Tbe , on which

discussions has already started.

Next generation OM4 optical fiber cabling will also be

supporetd by 40 and 100 GbE

CONCLUSION:
Ethernet has become the unifying technology
enabling communications via the Internet .
Different applications in the Ethernet ecosystem are
growing at different rates.
Server and computing applications are growing at a
slower pace than network aggregation applications.
This growth rates spurred the introduction of higher
rates for the next generation Ethernet.
