The new, faster, Ethernet standard: IEEE 802.3df, is capable of speeds up to 800 Gb/s. This standard was driven by industry’s need for faster Ethernet speeds.
Spanning Ethernet rates, lane signaling rates and widths, and media types, IEEE P802.3df is a standards project to develop a holistic Ethernet architecture.
The IEEE 802.3 standards family added two Ethernet standard amendments to meet the need for expanded high-speed broadband services and industry applications.
