…as well as its use of cables and equipment that are widely available, economical, and similar to previous standards. The first standard for faster 10 Gigabit Ethernet was approved in 2002. Ethernet was the result of research conducted at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s, and later evolved into a widely implemented…
