- Designing a Hardware-Accelerated Firewall With Two 10 Gbps Ports
- High-speed packet filtering should be one of the first steps in securing any modern computer network. However, solutions over 1 Gbps are practically impossible to implement in software, and must be implemented with the use of specialized hardware. This paper describes the design of a two-port firewall for 10 Gbps...

- Gartner: Fiber capacity will quadruple by 2005
- The standard implements new technology to compensate for polarization mode dispersion, a signal distortion problem that typically accompanies higher data rates. Optical networks should experience a four-fold bandwidth increase (from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps) at just 2.5 times the cost — the traditional point at which economies of scale...
