Description

As networks become more mission critical, organizations are depending on faster speeds to help eliminate bottlenecks in the enterprise backbone. This report analyzes the results of an end user survey asking network managers and executives what they used as the primary backbone technology at the end of 1998 and at what they expect to deploy by the end of 2000. The technologies discussed include: Ethernet (10, 100, and 1,000 Mbps), ATM (25 Mbps, OC-3, and OC-12), FDDI, and Token Ring/High Speed Token Ring.
