Perth's Edith Cowan University (ECU) will replace its entire data network over the next 18 months with brand new hardware from equipment vendor Nortel.
A 40Gbps Ethernet standard could be on the cards, and 10Gbps Ethernet could run on copper--depending on an IEEE meeting in November.
Well, it has been done, and many people are excited about the possibilities of running gigabit speeds over their existing wiring. The question at hand is, at what point is it appropriate?
Intel plans to announce a new network processor that will handle security functions, a move it expects will reduce the cost and improve the performance of networking equipment.
Sun Microsystems has booted its Solaris operating system on a server with a prototype of its forthcoming Niagara II processor, one key milestone for the company's attempt to restore the relevance of its Sparc processor family.
Yes, I confess. I used the high-speed AARNet network built for academics for hours and hours for years on end to kill people in Quake.

The Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router bears the same sleek, antenna-free design as its sibling the WRT160N, except features a four port gigabit switch. We are a little disappointed at the lack of a USB port, which means it can't act as a print server or easily facilitate network storage. It more than makes up for these lacking features, however, with excellent performance in CNET Labs' testing.

There's no question data volumes are growing; how long will it be before 100 megabits isn't enough? ZDNet Australia evaluates the performance benefits and cost effectiveness of gigabit Ethernet over copper and fibre.
New firewalls, switches, MP3 players and business applications feature in this week's Australian announcements.
Intel plans to lower the cost and increase the performance of optical networking technology, the company said Wednesday, part of the chipmaker's effort to make money off communications as well as computing technology.
