Description
Summary:Internet traffic will quadruple in five years and the number of mobile Internet connections will exceed the world's population by 2017, according to Cisco research. The number of Internet users will be a quarter billion greater this year than last and almost three times that of 2005, according to the ITU. Bandwidth requirements in data centers keep rising to accommodate the growth in users and the service levels they demand. They're seeing it now with the progression from 10G to 40G to 100G Ethernet. Soon, Gigabit Ethernet will go the way of Fast Ethernet.
