GE/10GE in the Core

Hi everyone, this post is about ethernet in the core. Yes, it still covering GE/10GE standards and doesn't include 40/100GE. I expect, that it will be covered in CCIE SP version 4. And hopefully, i will try to pass the written v4 for recertification :))

The ethernet topic is usually well known and nobody expects "hard" questions. Anyway I prefer to refresh my memory by using Cisco docs. Maybe I'm missing some Cisco marketing terms (like VTXP in IPoDWDM post), etc. :))



This post includes following topics:
  1. Gigabit Ethernet standards
  2. 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards
  3. Duplex Mode
  4. MTU
  5. Flow control
  6. Link Aggregation Control Protocol
