Within days of our public launch, the Ethernet Alliance received numerous requests from companies who wanted to join. These new members truly represent the diversity of Ethernet from the carrier to the consumer. We are especially pleased to have Cisco as
Cisco has laid out a vision and architecture for Carrier Ethernet that provides service providers a broad selection of flexible options across all network domains. Cisco announced products today that deliver a number of important network services at cost-effective price points, adding to Cisco's already large portfolio.
Rollouts of triple-play access infrastructure and business Ethernet services infrastructure will drive demand for reconfigurable optical network systems. Ethernet and triple play will push a lot of traffic onto carrier interoffice facilities and metro core facilities, requiring more than simple, incremental bandwidth additions. The unique transport requirements of these services will force operators to move to a new generation of optical systems and architectures.
Circuit emulation, though advancing in sophistication, continues to concern operators and limit their enthusiasm for transitioning fully to Ethernet optical transport. Most operators believe Ethernet will in fact catch up soon, but standards work must be completed, performance demonstrated, and interoperability proven.

Based on our recent service provider studies, we see an intertwining of MPLS and Ethernet -- most providers of metro services are using or planning MPLS as a standard approach for augmenting and scaling their Layer 2 services. A cost-effective solution that has a mix of Layer 2, routing, and MPLS capabilities will help give these service providers the flexibility to expand their customer reach and increase revenue.
The wave of new applications for Ethernet is immense, as our customers increasingly look to connect people and machines in new and unique environments. National's PHYTER family enables this wave, bringing innovative, application-targeted capabilities to the Ethernet physical layer and allowing system developers to connect devices they never thought possible.
The Marvell Yukon family of Ethernet controllers has become an industry standard and Yukon Ultra enables PC manufacturers to create platforms that deliver the outstanding performance and sophisticated power savings demanded in both the consumer and enterprise markets. By providing pin compatibility Marvell is enabling our OEM partners to leverage existing system designs, guaranteeing quick time to market and shorter design cycles.
What that allows you to do is to make an investment in an architecture that today might be carrying Ethernet and IP ports, but tomorrow might need to switch to T1, TDM, or storage technology. I think that's one of the things we're very focused on Allowing the carriers to be wrong. What this technology does is take some of the guesswork out of planning.
There is an enormous market for feature-rich, value-priced Fast Ethernet switches at the edge of today's next-generation networks.
Token ring was a very elegant way of sharing bandwidth on a LAN, ... What killed it was LAN switching because all that matters there is price per port. Ethernet was simpler and supported by more vendors, so it was cheaper to build Ethernet chip sets.
