Force10 Awarded 100GbE Patent
Sean Michael Kerner writes on internetnews.com:
High-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is not yet a standard, but at least one vendor is already looking for patents. And getting them.More here.
Networking vendor Force10 said that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded it U.S. patent number 7,124,502 titled, "Method of fabricating a high-layer-count backplane." The invention described in the patent is a key part of Force10's TeraScale E-Series networking gear, which already supports 10GbE.
Currently the fastest Ethernet standard is 10GbE, though Force10 has been helping to lead an effort to develop a standard for 100 GbE.
