1 Trillion Bits per Second Ethernet by 2015

Researchers with the University of California - Santa Barbara Terabit Optical Ethernet Center (TOEC) will develop a technology necessary for a new generation of Ethernet a thousand times faster, and much more energy efficient, than today’s most advanced networks.

They are aiming for 1 Terabit Ethernet over optical fiber—1 trillion bits per second—by 2015, to enable 100 Terabit Ethernet by 2020.

Tomorrow’s Internet: 1000 times faster
