As a follow-on to the BRCM announcement, allow me to interject the following. The HSSG (HigherSpeedStudyGroup) of the IEEE is working on the 10GEther standard and specifications. This will be known as IEEE-802.3ae. There are many, many participants involved in this development and they include chip makers of which BRCM is just one. Since the standard is not finished, it would seem pre-mature of BRCM to make such an announcement. If anyone is interested in the continuing developments and discussions, the following links to the discussion archives might be valuable. manta.ieee.org There are many facets to the development of the 10GE standard, and the application of 10GE in the LAN, MAN and WAN. Note that 10GE is approximately the same bit rate capacity for the payload as OC-192c. Note that companies do not participate directly in the development. Engineers do.

Hey Steve,..Re:.thoughts from CSFB on the optical chips from BRCM Thanks for the CSFB brief on the BRCM new product. I would have never guessed HWP but upon a little digging, found the following Agilent stuff.<g> Agilent Technologies to Expand Small-Form-Factor Portfolio With New 2.5 Gigabit-Per-Second Optical Transceivers semiconductor.agilent.com@@@@1247918896.0957292647@@@@&BV_EngineID=halhikgfdhfbemfcgjcfijcio.0&oid=12684 Agilent Acquires Optical Technology Center Feb 23, 2000 Acquisition to Speed Agilent's Delivery of 10Gb/s and DWDM Technologies to Telecom and Datacom Markets semiconductor.agilent.com@@@@1247918896.0957292647@@@@&BV_EngineID=halhikgfdhfbemfcgjcfijcio.0&clickAction=PressRelease Couldn't load the second news brief, kept getting an error but will look again later. In fact when trying the link again, that story is not there anymore! Looks like I need to make some kind of organization graphic to see where and how all this stuff fits in? <g> Best, Lee
