Re: The strategic attachment interface that is emerging is gigabit ethernet Bill, Gigabit Ethernet is something that has been discussed on this thread before. The argument goes something like this. For a device to use Gigabit Ethernet the CPU better be able to cope with the huge associated TCP/IP workload. One solution is to make the NIC more powerful and off-load all the TCP/IP functions onto the card. To this end Intel has released it's latest IOP's and WIND has released the latest version of it's I2O OS (IxWorks).

Servers, remote storage and connections to local area networks exist as peers in a unified fabric. I2O has applications here also (see below).
