Foundingbackground
Ethernetisdominantinlocalareanetworks.Butforalongperiodoftime,peoplegenerallybelievedthatEthernetcouldnotbeusedinmetropolitanareanetworks,especiallytheconvergencelayerandbackbonelayer.ThemainreasonisthatthebandwidthofEthernetusedasthebackboneofthemetropolitanareanetworkistoolow(intheeraof10Mand100MfastEthernet),andthetransmissiondistanceistooshort.Atthattime,themostpromisingmetropolitanareanetworktechnologieswereFDDIandDQDB.Inthefollowingyears,ATMtechnologyhasbecomeahotspot.AlmosteveryonebelievesthatATMwillbecometheonlytechnologythatunifieslocalareanetworks,metropolitanareanetworks,andwideareanetworks.However,duetovariousreasons,onlyATMtechnologyamongtheabove-mentionedthreetechnologiesinChinahasbecomeanalternativesolutionfortheconvergencelayerandbackbonelayerofthemetropolitanareanetwork.
ThemostcommonEthernetis10MEthernetand100MEthernet(FastEthernet).100MFastEthernetisobviouslynotenoughasametropolitanareabackbonenetwork.EvenifmultiplefastEthernetlinksareusedincombination,theystillhavemorethanenoughcapacityformultimediaservices.WiththestandardizationofGigabitEthernetanditswideapplicationinproductionpractice,Ethernettechnologyhasgraduallyextendedtotheconvergencelayerofthemetropolitanareanetwork.GigabitEthernetisusuallyusedtoconvergecommunityuserstometropolitanPOPpoints,ortoconnectconvergencelayerequipmenttothebackbonelayer.However,inthecurrentenvironmentof10MEthernettotheuser,GigabitEthernetlinkisalsoreluctantasanaggregation,anditisbeyondreachasabackbone.AlthoughEthernetmulti-linkaggregationtechnologyhasbeenstandardizedandmulti-vendorinteroperabilityisjustaroundthecorner,multiplegigabitlinkscanbebundledandused.However,consideringfiberresourcesandwavelengthresources,linkbundlingisgenerallyonlyusedinPOPpointsorshort-distanceapplicationenvironments.
TransmissiondistanceusedtobeamajorobstaclethatEthernetcannotbeusedasalinktechnologyatthebackbonelayerofthemetropolitanareadatanetwork.Whetheritis10M,100MorGigabitEthernet,thetransmissiondistanceofCategory5linesis100mduetothesignal-to-noiseratio,collisiondetection,andavailablebandwidth.Whenusingopticalfibertransmission,thedistancelimitisrestrictedbythemaster-slavesynchronizationmechanismusedbyEthernet.802.3stipulatesthatthe1000Base-SXinterfaceusesa62.5μmcoremultimodefiberwithalongesttransmissiondistanceof275manda50μmcoremultimodefiberwithalongesttransmissiondistanceof550m;1000Base-LXinterfaceusesa62.5μmcoremultimodefiberwiththelongesttransmissiondistance.Thetransmissiondistanceis550m,thelongesttransmissiondistanceis550mwhenusingamultimodefiberwithacoreof50μm,andthelongesttransmissiondistanceis5000mwhenusingasingle-modefiberwithacoreof10μm.Thelongesttransmissiondistanceof5kmGigabitEthernetlinkisfarfromenoughinthemetropolitanarea.AlthoughtheGigabitinterfaceimplementationbasedonthemanufacturercanreachatransmissiondistanceof80km,andsomemanufacturershavecompletedinteroperabilitytests,itisanon-standardimplementationafterallandcannotguaranteetheinteroperabilityofthistypeofinterfacefromallmanufacturers.
Tosumup,themainreasonwhyEthernettechnologyisnotsuitableforuseinthebackbone/aggregationlayerofthemetropolitanareanetworkisbandwidthandtransmissiondistance.Withtheemergenceof10GigabitEthernettechnology,theabovetwoproblemshavebasicallybeenresolved.

10Gethernet byl schválen v IEEE v červenci 2002.10GEthernet zahrnuje 10GBASE-X,10GBASE-R,10GBASE-W a 10GBASE-T na měděných kabelech (schváleno v roce 2006). Vlnová délka 0nm v intervalech přibližně 25nm, každý pár vysílače/přijímače pracuje rychlostí 3,125 Gbit/s (rychlost datového toku je 2,5 Gbit/s). 10GBASE-Risaserial rozhraní, které využívá 64B /66Bencoding (nepoužívá se 8B/10 v gigabitovém Ethernetu). Datový tok je 10 000 Gbit/s a výsledná rychlost je 10,3 Gbit/s. 10 GBASE-Wis celoplošné síťové rozhraní, kompatibilní se SONETOC-192, jeho hodiny jsou 9,953 Gbit/s.
10G sériová fyzická mediální vrstva
Specifikace optického vlákna 10gigabitového Ethernetu pro místní sítě jsou: 10 GBase-SR, 10 GBase-LR a 10 GBase-ER.
1,10 GBase-SR
"SR" v 10GBase-SRje zkratka "shortrange", což znamená, že se používá pouze pro připojení na krátkou vzdálenost. Tato specifikace podporuje krátkovlnné (850 nm vlnová délka) vícenásobné vlákno (MMF) s metodou kódování 64B/66B, s 2 účinným metrem přenosu na 0.
2,10 GBase-LR
"LR" v 10GBase-LRje zkratka "LongRange", což znamená, že se používá hlavně pro připojení na dlouhé vzdálenosti. Specifikace podporuje dlouhé vlny (1310nm) s jedním režimem (SMF) s metodou kódování 64B/66B, s efektivním přenosem 2 metry na vzdálenost 10 km.
4,10 GBase-ER
"ER" v 10GBase-ERje zkratka "ExtendedRange", což znamená, že vzdálenost připojení může být velmi dlouhá. Tato specifikace podporuje ultra-dlouhovlnné (1550 nm) jedno-módové vlákno (SMF) s metodou kódování 64B/66B, s efektivním přenosem 4 metry na vzdálenost 0.

Because10GEthernetisessentiallyahigh-speedEthernet,inordertobecompatiblewithtraditionalEthernet,theframeformatoftraditionalEthernetmustbeusedtocarryservices.Inordertoachieveahighrateof10Gbit/s,theOC-192cframeformatcanbeusedfortransmission.ThisneedstorealizethemappingfunctionfromEthernetframetoOC-192cframeformatinthephysicalsublayer.Atthesametime,becausetheoriginaldesignofEthernetisforlocalareanetwork,thenetworkmanagementfunctionisweak,thetransmissiondistanceisshort,anditsphysicallinedoesnothaveanyprotectivemeasures.WhenEthernetisusedasawideareanetworkforlong-distance,high-speedtransmission,itwillinevitablycausegreaterjitterinthefrequencyandphaseofthelinesignal,andthetransmissionofEthernetisasynchronous,anditisdifficulttoachievesignalsynchronizationatthereceivingend.Therefore,iftheEthernetframeistobetransmittedinthewideareanetwork,theformatoftheEthernetframeneedstobemodified.

Technická klasifikace
Existuje mnoho standardů a specifikací pro gigabitový Ethernet. Mezi standardy, existují IEEE 802.3aein2002,IEEE 802.3akin2004,aIEEEin2006.802.3an, IE2EE.3 apin,02EE.33. Mezi specifikacemi je celkem více než 10, které lze rozdělit do tří kategorií: jedna je specifikace LAN 10 Gigabit Ethernet založená na optickém vláknu, druhá je specifikace LAN10 Gigabit Ethernet založená na kroucené dvojici (nebo měděném drátu), a třetí je specifická síť na bázi optického vlákna G0 WAN1 .
