40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) are groups of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at rates of 40 and 100 gigabits per second (Gbit/s), respectively. These technologies offer significantly higher speeds than 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The technology was first defined by the IEEE 802.3ba-2010 standard and later by the 802.3bg-2011, 80. Standards developmentOn July 18, 2006, a call for interest for a High Speed Study Group (HSSG) to investigate new standards for high. Optical signal transmission over a nonlinear medium is principally an analog design problem. As such, it has evolved more slowly than digital circuit lithography (which generally progressed in step with ). Unlike the "race to 10 Gbit/s" that was driven by the imminent need to address growth pains of the in the late 1990s, customer interest in 100 Gbit/s technologies was mostly driven by economic f.
