Carrier Ethernet Equipment Design
Coming to San Jose on January 27, 2009

On January 27th, The Linley Group will hold the first seminar in the Linley Tech 2009 series. This one-day event will focus on network processors, packet processors, transport processors, and PHY components for applications such as Ethernet aggregation, Ethernet access, and packet-optical transport.

The seminar will open with a presentation from Bob Wheeler, senior analyst at The Linley Group, highlighting Carrier Ethernet design trends and providing context for later presentations. The remainder of the program will include subjects ranging from access designs to 100G Ethernet designs. Relevant chips that will be discussed include network processors (NPUs), Carrier Ethernet switch chips, and optical mapper/PHY devices.
