Implications of the traffic growth
With current growth rate, monthly volume will quadruple to 10 Peta Byte.
- Indication for the peak rate.
Switches
- Backplanes can handle this growth easily.
Inter switch links
- Difficult to predict at the moment
- Hard to predict how traffic will be distributed.
- Considering link aggregation with 10 GigEth as possible solution
- Have to look out for new technology
- 40, 100, 160 Gigabit Ethernet?
- Optical switching?
