10 GbE STANDARD
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Under the International Standards Organization’s Open

Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, Ethernet is
fundamentally a Layer 2 protocol.
• IEEE 802.3ae was adapted to include 10-Gbps full-duplex
transmission over fiber-optic cable.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uses the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Media
Access Control (MAC) protocol, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
frame format, and the minimum and maximum IEEE 802.3
frame size.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet remains true to the original Ethernet
model.

10 GbE ARCHITECTURES
National Institute of Science & Technology

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uses two separate encoding steps.

• The encoded data provides synchronization, efficient usage of

bandwidth, and improved signal-to-noise ratio characteristics.

• All 10GbE varieties use optical fiber media.

CHIP INTERFACE(XAUI)
National Institute of Science & Technology

• The XAUI is designed as an interface extender, and the

interface, which it extends, is the XGMII, the 10 Gigabit
Media Independent Interface.The XGMII is a 74 signal
wide interface (32-bit data paths for each of transmit
and receive) that may be used to attach the Ethernet
MAC to its PHY.
• Benefits of XAUI technology - low EMI due to it's self-
clocked nature, compensation for multi-bit bus skew --
allowing significantly longer-distance chip-to-chip --
error detection and fault isolation capabilities, low power
consumption, and the ability to integrate the XAUI I/O
within commonly available CMOS processes.

PHYSICAL MEDIA DEPENDENTS(PMDs)
National Institute of Science & Technology

• The IEEE 802.3ae Task Force has developed a draft

standard that provides a physical layer that supports link
distances for fiber optic media as shown in Table A. To
meet these distance objectives, four PMDs were
selected.

PHYSICAL LAYER(PHYs)
National Institute of Science & Technology

• The LAN PHY and the WAN PHY will operate over common
PMDs and, therefore, will support the same distances. .
• The 10 Gigabit LAN PHY is intended to support existing
Gigabit Ethernet applications at ten times the bandwidth with
the most cost-effective solution.
• The 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN PHY supports connections to
existing and future installations of SONET/SDH (Synchronous
Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) circuit-
switched telephony access equipment.

APPLICATIONS FOR 10 GbE

National Institute of Science & Technology

10 Gigabit Ethernet in Local Area Networks

• Ethernet technology is already the most deployed technology for

high performance LAN environments.
• With the extension of 10 Gigabit Ethernet into the family of
Ethernet technologies, the LAN now can reach farther and
support up coming bandwidth hungry applications.
• With 10 Gigabit backbones installed, companies will have the
capability to begin Gigabit Ethernet service to workstations and,
eventually, to the desktop in order to support applications such as
streaming video, medical imaging, centralized applications, and
high-end graphics.

10 GbE in Metropolitan and Storage Area Networks

• Gigabit Ethernet is already being deployed as a
backbone technology for dark fiber metropolitan
networks. With appropriate 10 Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces, optical transceivers and single mode fiber,
service providers will be able to build links reaching
40km or more.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet will provide infrastructure for both
network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area
networks (SAN).

National Institute of Science & Technology

10 Gigabit Ethernet in Wide Area Networks

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet will enable Internet service
providers (ISP) and network service providers (NSPs)
to create very high-speed links at a very low cost,
between co-located, carrier-class switches and routers
and optical equipment that is directly attached to the
SONET/SDH cloud.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet with the WAN PHY will also allow
the construction of WANs that connect geographically
dispersed LANs between campuses or POPs (points of
presence) over existing SONET/SDH/TDM networks.

10 Gigabit Ethernet as a Fabric Interconnect

10 Gigabit Ethernet is in a position to replace all these
proprietary technologies as a next-generation interconnect
for both server and storage-area networks for several
reasons:
• Cost-Saving Server Consolidation.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet Offers the Necessary Bandwidth.
• Planned Growth of 10 Gigabit Network Features.

USING FIBER IN 10GbE

National Institute of Science & Technology

• There are two types of optical fiber, multimode and

single mode fiber, that are currently used in data
networking and telecommunications applications.
• The 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology, as defined in the
IEEE 802.3ae standard, supports both optical fiber
types.
• However, the distances supported vary based on the
type of fiber and wavelength (nm) is implemented in the
application.

THE FUTURE OF 10GbE

National Institute of Science & Technology

Will There be Copper?

• IEEE 802.3 has recently formed two new study groups
to investigate 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling.
• The 10GBASE-CX4 study group is developing a
standard for transmitting and receiving XAUI signals via
a 4-pair twinax cable, commonly referred to as a 4x
InfiniBand cable.
• The 10GBASE-T study group is developing a standard
for the transmission and reception of 10 Gigabit
Ethernet via a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) copper cable up to 100 m.
