As I indicated in an earlier posting I have begun my education in Gigabit Ethernet and ATM. Here are some preliminary data I have collected. l. GE (Gigabyte Ethernet) does not yet have an accepted standard.ATM has a standard 2. Almost every carrier has adopted ATM for its long haul backbone. 3. GE may have a cost advantage in campus applications. Campus is used in terms of distance the data can be transmitted over the multimode fiber.The goal is to achieve 250-500 meters. I am unsure at this point if anyone has the 500 meter capability. Certainly with such a distance it would be more economical to use GE in a campus environment.Must keep in mind however that files on GE cannot interface into ATM. If ATM is the backbone choice then GE becomes a limited niche market. 4. ATM permits transmission of voice,video and data. GE cannot handle the video since there is jitter caused by the difference in transmission time of packets containing the video. 5. There is a marketing battle raging in the press on GE vs ATM. For reasons I do not yet understand the press coverage (both technical and public) seems to be mostly anti ATM and pro GE. 6. A question to research. If an organization has need for campus plus WAN capability would it be wise to employ different technologies in each segment thereby raising interface and interoperability problems? A recent marketing report I read predicts that Yurie will capture 28% of this years estimated $122 million ATM WAN access equipment. Yurie competitors include the following: Newbridge,ADC/Kentrox,OnStream owned by Cisco,Sahara Networks owned by Ascend,NetEdge owned by LARS Com. More on this subject as I develop the data
