New Energy Efficient Ethernet standard can save 80% on network power – UNH-IOL
August 2, 2010
A new technology that can save as much as 80% on Ethernet networks is now being finalised by the industry. The new standard, called Energy Efficient Ethernet or EEE – also dubbed IEEE 802.3az, brings in a feature called, “low power idle mode,” which allows network equipment to save energy when no carrying traffic.

UNH-IOL gears up for 40G/100G testing
July 30, 2010
With 40 Gbps/100Gbps Ethernet networks beginning to appear, The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) has added 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium to cover the recently published IEEE 802.3ba standard. The lab, well known for its impartial testing services, typically holds “plugfests” where consortium members can test their equipment. UNH-IOL engineers often participate on standards committees. Students and staff develop in-house testing tools, providing consortium members with access to those tools and to lab facilities.
Making the move to Energy Efficient Ethernet
July 30, 2010
I recently interviewed the University of New Hampshire-InterOperability Lab's Jeff Lapak regarding Energy Efficient Ethernet, a pending IEEE standard designed to save companies energy use and money through more efficient network use. Specifically, I asked Lapak questions about how to start making the move to EEE.
