1. 2006 IEEE formed HSSG
2. Jan 2008 IEEE 802.3ba 40Gbps & 100Gbps Ethernet Task Force.
3. ITU SG15. Transport focused. OTN Mappings of 40GE & 100GE. New OTU4 for
100GE. One WDMPHY (no 10GE LAN/WAN PHY issue). One FEC.
4. Optical Interworking Forum (OIF): 100GE DWDM interoperability. Agreed on DPQPSK,single wavelength >1000km 50/100GHz ITU-T grid compatible.
5. Cisco works with IEEE, ITU, OIF and on products: 100GE 2HCY10 on CRS-1, …
6. Cisco will do 40GE/100GE WDMPHY for routers (IPoDWDM) and DWDM System
