Although Ethernet technology is still the most popular LAN technology in use today at the desktop, the throughput offered by the 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet is inadequate for high bandwidth networking applications such as real-time visualisation, high-resolution graphics, multimedia and Web applications. Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) technology provides 1,000 megabits per second (i.e., one gigabit per second) at more reasonable cost than the other technologies of comparable speed and therefore it is a natural upgrade strategy for many legacy Ethernet networks. This paper reports on a case study of a large New Zealand organization focusing on the level of GigE deployment, design, planning and implementation, network performance testing, problems encountered and future plans. Our findings show the feasibility and practicability of deploying GigE technology in high-speed networking applications such as campus- and corporate-wide local area networks.

This paper presents an on-line surface defects detection system based on machine vision, which has high speed architecture and can perform high accurate detection for cold-rolled aluminum plate. The system consists of high speed camera and industrial personal computer (IPC) array which connected through Gigabit Ethernet, achieved seamless detection by redundant control. In order to acquire high processing speed, single IPC as processor receives from and deals with only one or two cameras' image. Experimental results show that the system with high accurate detection capability can satisfy the requirement of real time detection and find out the defects on the production line effectively.

In the image display and control system, a high speed dissymmetrical point to point communication port and protocol between GENIC(Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card) and SDRAM based on LVDS (Low Voltage Differential signaling) and STOP-WAIT ARQ protocol are designed, while the port’s speed should not below 1Gbps. Five lines LVDS signal pairs are used in one direction, including one clock and four data in the port’s electrical connections. Double-edge sampling and source synchronizing are also used. Mode 256 checkout is used to guarantee the reliable data transmission. Analysis shows that the port’s bandwidth is 1.2Gbps, the efficiency of protocol is above 99% and the protocol works steadily and reliably.

High-speed transceivers are receiving great interest due to the demand for huge data traffic and information storage capacities in the Big Data era. Recently, 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) has become an IEEE standardized data communication protocol. The 100G quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) transceiver is one of the key technological enablers in the high-speed optical networks. In this paper, we study the reliability current dependence for the four-lambda QSFP (4x25G) EML devices that are employed in the 100G QSFP transceivers. In order to meet the energy-efficient and environmental requirements, we develop a swift reliability test methodology that can provide fast, accurate reliability assessment to ensure robust long-term field performance. We discuss the acceleration factor and extrapolation for the energy-efficient reliability test.

The use of virtualization technology has been increasing in the IT industry to consolidate servers and reduce power consumption significantly. Virtualized commodity servers are scaled out in the data center and increase the demand for bandwidth between servers. Therefore, a high performance switch is required. The shared-memory switch is the best performance/cost switch architecture, but it is challenging to satisfy the requirements on the memory bandwidth in a high speed network. In addition, it is challenging to handle variable-length frames in Ethernet. This chapter describes the main challenges in Ethernet switch designs and then energy-aware switch designs, including switch architecture and high speed IO interface. As implementation examples, this chapter also describes a single-chip switch Large Scale Integration (LSI) embedded with high-speed IO interfaces and 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switch blade equipped with the switch LSI. The switch blade delivers 100% more performance per watt than other 10GbE switch blades in the industry.
