I-Ethernet ihlanganisa iminyaka engu-50, kodwa uhambo lwayo seluqalile

Ungacindezelwa kanzima ukuthola obunye ubuchwepheshe obusebenziseke, buphumelele, futhi bube nomthelela ekugcineni njenge-Ethernet, futhi njengoba igubha iminyaka yayo engama-50 kuleli sonto, kuyacaca ukuthi uhambo lwe-Ethernet lusekude ukuphela.

Selokhu yasungulwa ngu-Bob Metcalf kanye no-David Boggs emuva ngo-1973, i-Ethernet ilokhu yandiswa futhi yashintshwa ukuze ibe iphrothokholi yokuya ku-Layer 2 ekuxhumekeni kwekhompyutha kuzo zonke izimboni.

“Kimina, isici esithakazelisa kakhulu se-Ethernet wukuba kwayo yonke indawo, okusho ukuthi isatshalaliswe ngokoqobo yonke indawo okuhlanganisa nangaphansi kwezilwandle nasemkhathini. Amacala okusebenzisa i-Ethernet asakhula ngezingqimba ezintsha zomzimba — ngokwesibonelo i-Ethernet enesivinini esikhulu yamakhamera ezimotweni, "kusho u-Andreas Bechtolsheim, umsunguli weSun Microsystems kanye ne-Arista Networks, manje ongusihlalo kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu sokuthuthukiswa kwe-Arista.

"Indawo enomthelela omkhulu we-Ethernet kuleli phuzu ingaphakathi kwezikhungo zedatha zamafu ezinkulu ezibonise ukukhula okuphezulu okuhlanganisa ukuxhuma amaqoqo e-AI/ML akhula ngokushesha," kusho u-Bechtolsheim.

I-Ethernet inezinhlelo zokusebenza ezibanzi.

Ukuvumelana nezimo nokuvumelana nezimo kuyizici ezibalulekile zobuchwepheshe, athe, “sekuyimpendulo ezenzakalelayo yanoma iyiphi inethiwekhi yokuxhumana, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ihlanganisa imishini noma amakhompyutha, okusho ukuthi cishe kuzo zonke izimo asikho isidingo sokusungula enye inethiwekhi. ”

Ngenkathi i-COVID ifika, i-Ethernet ibiyingxenye ebalulekile yendlela amabhizinisi aphendule ngayo, kusho uMikael Holmberg, unjiniyela wesistimu ohlukile nge-Extreme Networks. "Uma sibheka emuva ekushintsheni kungazelelwe emsebenzini okude ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwe-COVID emhlabeni wonke, enye yezinhlelo zokusebenza eziguqula kakhulu i-Ethernet ngokungangabazeki indima yayo ekusizeni abasebenzi abasabalalisiwe," esho.

Lokho kushintsha kufaka ingcindezi yomkhawulokudonsa owengeziwe kubahlinzeki bezinsizakalo zokuxhumana. "Lesi sidingo sigqugquzelwe ngabasebenzi bamabhizinisi abasebenza bekude, abafundi abaguqukela emfundweni ye-inthanethi, baphinde bakhulisa nemidlalo ye-inthanethi ngenxa yemiyalelo yokuncishiswa komphakathi," kusho uHolmberg. "Empeleni, ngenxa yokuthi i-Ethernet iwubuchwepheshe obuyisisekelo obusetshenziswa ku-inthanethi, yenze abantu bakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi eyahlukene ngokunethezeka kwamakhaya abo."

Ukusabalala okunjaloukuthuthukiswakanye ne-ecosystems enkulu ye-Ethernet iholele ekutheniizinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlukile—kusukela ekusetshenzisweni eSiteshini Somkhathi Samazwe Ngamazwe, ezakamuva kumajethi ezempi e-F-35 namathangi akwa-Abrams kuya ocwaningweni lwasolwandle.

I-Ethernet isetshenziswe ekuhloleni umkhathi iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20, okuhlanganisa nesiteshi sasemkhathini, amasathelayithi, nemishini ye-Mars, kusho uPeter Jones, usihlalo we-Ethernet Alliance, kanye nonjiniyela ovelele weCisco. "I-Ethernet isiza ukuxhumana okungenamthungo phakathi kwamasistimu angaphansi abalulekile emishini, njengezinzwa, amakhamera, izilawuli, kanye ne-telemetry ngaphakathi kwezimoto namadivayisi, njengamasathelayithi nama-probes. Kuphinde kube yingxenye esemqoka yezokuxhumana ukusuka phansi kuya emkhathini kanye nasemkhathini kuya phansi.”

Njengokuthatha indawo yefa lefacy Controller Area Network (CAN) kanye neLocal Interconnect Network (LIN) protocol, i-Ethernet isiphenduke umgogodla wamanethiwekhi ezimotweni, kusho uJones, okuhlanganisa izimoto nama-drones. "Izimoto Zezindiza Ezingenamuntu (ama-UAV) kanye Nezimoto Zasemoyeni Ezingenamuntu (UUVs) ezivumela ukuqapha isimo somkhathi, amagagasi namazinga okushisa, kanye nesizukulwane esilandelayo sokugadwa okuzimele kanye nezinhlelo zokuphepha konke kuncike ku-Ethernet," kusho uJones.

I-Ethernet ikhule yathatha indawo yezivumelwano zokugcina, futhi namuhla iyisisekelo sekhompiyutha yokusebenza okuphezulu njengasesisekelweni se-I-Frontier supercomputernge-HPE Slingshot – njengamanje ikleliswe endaweni yokuqala phakathi kwamakhompyutha amakhulu ashesha kakhulu emhlabeni. Cishe wonke 'amabhasi akhethekile' okuxhumana ngedatha, kuzo zonke izimboni, athathelwa indawo yi-Ethernet, kusho uMark Pearson, uchwepheshe wezobuchwepheshe oshintshashintshayo we-HPE Aruba Networking kanye no-HPE Fellow.

“I-Ethernet yenza izinto zaba lula. Izixhumi ezilula, ezilula ukuyenza isebenze kumakhebula amabili asontekile akhona, izinhlobo zozimele ezilula obekulula ukuzilungisa, okulula ukuhlanganisa ithrafikhi kumshini wokulawula ukufinyelela ophakathi nendawo,” kusho u-Pearson.

Lokhu sekwenze ukuthi zonke izigaba zomkhiqizo ezine-Ethernet zisheshe, ishibhile, kube lula ukuxazulula inkinga, kusho uPearson, okuhlanganisa:

Ama-NIC ashumekiwe kumabhodi omama

Ukushintsha kwe-Ethernet kwanoma imuphi usayizi, inhlanganisela yokunambitheka kwesivinini

Amakhadi e-Gigabit Ethernet NIC aphayona amafreyimu e-jumbo

I-Ethernet NIC kanye nokulungiselelwa kokushintsha kwazo zonke izinhlobo zamacala okusetshenziswa

Izici ezifana ne-EtherChannel - amasethi wokuhlanganisa amashaneli wamachweba ku-stat-mux config

Ukuthuthukiswa kwe-Ethernet kuyaqhubeka.

Inani layo lesikhathi esizayo liphinde libonakale enanini lezinsiza eziphezulu ezinikezelwe ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wobuchwepheshe ukuthuthukisa izici ze-Ethernet, kusho uJohn D'Ambrosia, uSihlalo, i-IEEE P802.3dj Task Force, ethuthukisa isizukulwane esilandelayo se-Ethernet kagesi kanye ne-Ethernet. ukusayina kwe-optical.

“Kuyangijabulisa ukubuka intuthuko nendlela i-Ethernet ehlanganisa ngayo imboni ukuze ixazulule izinkinga—futhi lokhu kubambisana sekunesikhathi eside kuqhubeka futhi kuzoqina njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka,” kusho u-D'Ambrosia. .

Ngenkathi isivinini esiphezulu esikhula njalo se-Ethernet sidonsa ukunakwa okukhulu, kunomzamo omkhulu ofanayo wokuthuthukisa nokuthuthukisa isivinini esihamba kancane esingu-2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, kanye ne-25Gbps Ethernet, okuholele ekuthuthukisweni kwemakethe enkulu, ukusho okungenani.

Ngokusho kukaSameh Boujelbene, iphini likamongameli, isikhungo sedatha kanye nekhampasi ye-Ethernet switch market research forIqembu leDell'Oro, amachweba okushintsha i-Ethernet ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalolunye athunyelwe phakathi namashumi amabili eminyaka adlule, ngenani eliphelele lemakethe elingaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-450. "I-Ethernet ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekusizeni ukuxhumana nokuxhumanisa izinto namadivayisi ezimbonini eziningi kodwa, okubaluleke kakhulu, ekuxhumaniseni abantu emhlabeni wonke," kusho uBoujelbene.

I-IEEE ibala izandiso zesikhathi esizayo kuyoiwebhusayithiokuhlanganisa: ukufinyelela okufushane, ukuxhuma okubonakalayo okusekelwe ku-100 Gbps wavelengths; I-Precision Time Protocol (PTP) izincazelo zesitembu sesikhathi; I-Multigig ye-Automotive Optical; Izinyathelo ezilandelayo ku-Single-Pair ecosystem; I-100 Gbps phezu kwe-Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) izinhlelo; I-400 Gbps phezu kwezinhlelo ze-DWDM; isiphakamiso seqembu locwaningo le-Automotive 10G+ Copper; kanye no-200 Gbps, 400 Gbps, 800 Gbps, kanye ne-1.6 Tbps Ethernet.

“Iphothifoliyo ye-Ethernet iyaqhubeka nokukhula, ihlanganisa isivinini esikhulu kanye nentuthuko eshintsha umdlalo njengeAmandla phezu kwe-Ethernet(PoE), Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), nokunye,” kusho uBoujelbene. (I-SPE ichaza indlela yokuphatha ukudluliswa kwe-Ethernet ngepheya eyodwa yezintambo zethusi. I-TSN iyindlela evamile yokuhlinzeka ngokuqiniseka nokulethwa okuqinisekisiwe kwedatha ngenethiwekhi.)

Ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukayo buthembele ku-Ethernet

Njengoba izinsizakalo zamafu, kufaka phakathi i-virtual reality (VR), inqubekela phambili, ukuphatha ukubambezeleka kuba okubaluleke kakhulu, kusho uHolmberg. "Ukubhekana nalolu daba cishe kuzobandakanya ukusetshenziswa kwe-Ethernet ehambisana ne-Precision Time Protocol, okwenza i-Ethernet iguquke ibe ubuchwepheshe bokuxhumana obunezinjongo zokubambezeleka ezichaziwe," esho.

Ukusekelwa kwezinhlelo ezinkulu ezisabalalisiwe lapho imisebenzi evumelanisiwe ibalulekile idinga ukunemba kwesikhathi ngohlelo lwamakhulu ama-nanosecond. "Isibonelo esihle salokhu sibonakala emkhakheni Wezokuxhumana, ikakhulukazi endaweni yamanethiwekhi e-5G futhi ekugcineni amanethiwekhi we-6G," kusho uHolmberg.

Amanethiwekhi e-Ethernet anikeza i-latency echazwe ngaphambilini angase futhi azuzise ama-LAN ebhizinisi, ikakhulukazi ukubhekana nezidingo zobuchwepheshe obufana ne-AI, wathi, kodwa futhi nokuvumelanisa ama-GPU kuzo zonke izikhungo zedatha. "Empeleni, ikusasa le-Ethernet libonakala lihlanganiswe nama-paradigms wezobuchwepheshe asafufusa, akha indlela asebenza ngayo futhi aguquke ngayo," kusho uHolmberg.

Ukusetha ingqalasizinda yekhompiyutha ye-AI kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezicelo kuzophinde kube indawo ebalulekile yokwandisa i-Ethernet, kusho u-D'Ambrosia. I-AI idinga amaseva amaningi adinga ukuxhumana okune-latency ephansi, “Ngakho-ke, ukuminyana okuphezulu kuba yinto enkulu. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi uzama ukwenza izinto ngokushesha kunokuba ukubambezeleka kuba yinkinga ngoba kufanele uxazulule lezi zinkinga futhi usebenzise ukulungisa amaphutha ukuze uthole ukusebenza okwengeziwe kwesiteshi. Ziningi izinkinga lapho.”

Izinsizakalo ezintsha eziqhutshwa yi-AI-njengomsebenzi wobuciko okhiqizayo-zizodinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kwengqalasizinda esebenzisa i-Ethernet njengesendlalelo sezokuxhumana esiyisisekelo, kusho uJones.

I-AI ne-cloud computing yizona ezivumela ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwezinsizakalo ezilindelwe kumadivayisi kanye nenethiwekhi, uJones wanezela. "Lawa mathuluzi amasha azoqhubeka nokugqugquzela ukuvela kokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwendawo yokusebenza," kusho uJones.

Ngisho nokwandiswa kwamanethiwekhi angenantambo kuzodinga ukusetshenziswa okwengeziwe kwe-Ethernet. “Okokuqala, awukwazi ukuba ne-wireless ngaphandle kwezintambo. Zonke izindawo zokufinyelela okungenantambo zidinga ingqalasizinda enezintambo,” kusho uGreg Dorai, iphini likamongameli omkhulu, iCisco Networking. "Futhi izikhungo zedatha ezinkulu ezinikeza amandla ifu, i-AI, nobunye ubuchwepheshe besikhathi esizayo bonke buxhunywe ndawonye ngezintambo nefayibha, konke kubuyela ekushintsheni kwe-Ethernet."

Isidingo sokunciphisa ukudonsa kwamandla e-Ethernet futhi siqhuba ukuthuthukiswa kwayo.

Isibonelo, i-Energy-Efficient Ethernet, enika amandla izixhumanisi uma kungekho thrafikhi eningi, ingaba usizo lapho ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kubalulekile, kusho uGeorge Zimmerman: Chair, IEEE P802.3dg 100Mb/s Long-Reach Single Pair Ethernet. Aanikezwe umsebenzi. Lokho kufaka ezimotweni, lapho ithrafikhi yenethiwekhi ingalingani noma ihamba kancane. “Ukusebenza kahle kwamandla kuyinto enkulu kuzo zonke izindawo ze-Ethernet. Ilawula ubunkimbinkimbi bezinto eziningi esizenzayo,” usho kanje. Lokho kufaka phakathi izinhlelo zokulawula izimboni nobunye ubuchwepheshe obusebenzayo, “nokho, kusenendlela ende okufanele sihambe ngayo ngaphambi kokuthi ifane nokutholakala kwe-Ethernet ku-IT.”

Ngenxa yokuba khona kwayo yonke indawo, inqwaba yochwepheshe be-IT baqeqeshelwa ukusebenzisa i-Ethernet, okwenza ikhange ezindaweni ezisebenzisa izivumelwano zobunikazi njengamanje. Ngakho-ke esikhundleni sokuthembela echibini elincane labantu abajwayelene nabo, izinhlangano zingadonsa echibini elikhulu kakhulu futhi zingene emashumini eminyaka okuthuthukiswa kwe-Ethernet. "Kanjalo i-Ethernet iba yisisekelo umhlaba wobunjiniyela owakhelwe kuso," kusho uZimmerman.

Leyo phrojekthi yesimo iqhubekile nokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo okukhulayo.

“Noma ngabe ikusasa lisiphatheleni, i-Ethernet kaBob Metcalf izobe ikhona ixhumanisa yonke into, ngisho noma ingaba sesimweni ngisho noBob angeke ayibone,” kusho uDorai. "Kwazi bani? I-avatar yami, eqeqeshelwe ukusho engikufunayo, kungenzeka ukuthi ihamba nge-Ethernet ukuze ivele esithangamini nabezindaba sokugubha iminyaka engama-60. ”
