IEEE 802.3ae

IEEE 802.3ae is a standard for high-speed Ethernet networks, specifically for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It defines how data is transmitted over optical fiber or copper cables at speeds of 10 billion bits per second. This standard ensures that different equipment and devices can communicate reliably at very fast data rates, supporting demanding applications like data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing. Essentially, it sets the rules for ultra-fast network connections, enabling quick, efficient data transfer over local and wide-area networks.
