Type Of Tutorial

Introduction

In this article we will talk about the 10GBASE-R Ethernet standard and what is the difference between 10GBASE-R and 10GBASE-X, All this just to give you more understanding about 10GBASE-R technology. 

What is the 10GBASE-R technology?

10GBASE-R (LAN) is the serial encoded PCS using 64b/66b encoding that allows for Ethernet framing at a rate of 10.3125 Gbit/s. This rate does not match the rate 9.953 Gbit/s used in SONET and SDH and is not supported over a WAN based on SONET or SDH.
