Alex is this what your crystal ball was calling for - 1 gig ethernet ? IBM cranks up Ethernet push at ComNet By Paula Musich, PC Week Online January 27, 1999 1:52 PM ET WASHINGTON -- IBM's Networking Hardware Division introduced new high-performance networking gear here at ComNet '99 this week that makes good on its strategy to become a significant Ethernet provider and builds on its ATM history. Among the new offerings is the IBM 8371 Multilayer Ethernet Switch, intended to switch workgroup Ethernet traffic across an ATM backbone. The wire-speed Layer 3 switch, the first of several planned, will initially be delivered as a 16-port 10/100 chassis with expansion slots as well as a 16-port module for IBM's 8265 Nways ATM backbone switch. The expansion slots in the 8371 will accommodate more 10/100 auto-sensing ports and Gigabit Ethernet or ATM OC-12 uplinks. zdnet.com Jim K.
