Re: Ethernet over copper The problem of new technologies is that they are not as mature as the good old proven ones. In the long run they may prove just as reliable if not more. These days when cost is such a major factor and technology does not have time to mature I doubt that.
Regardless of the higher level protocols used, if the foundation of the network -- the physical plant is old, unmaintained, unreliable, corroded copper or poorly deployed (bent or hastily spliced) fiber, then regardless of the complexity of the transport protocols, you are going to end up with unreliable service and unhappy customers. |
