Really? Last I heard 10GB ethernet was still in the standardization
process, and nobody had hardware that was even close to working.
Hell, 1GB ethernet rarely (if ever) is run to capacity..

It is, indeed, it's not yet standardized, but it's certainly functional.
It's
cabling and connectors that are holding up the works. They're even running
(testing) it on coax. I'd be happy to get it to work at all at that high
rate. That would be PERFECT for SCSI over IP. Finally I'd be able to run a
disk farm ... I wonder how that would smell ...
About that capacity bit ... My hubs have a set of indicators that show how
much of capacity is being used, and I don't think I've ever seen 'em at more
than 20% even when I'm running backup over the LAN on two stations. I went
from 10 Mb to 100 Mb ethernet just to facilitate the
backups, since my daily
backups took over 24 hours on the 10 MB ethernet. I also
wanted to record in
real-time to CD without ruining media, and that, at least with the software
I've got, doesn't work regardless of whether its standard or "fast"
ethernet.

Well you can buy it from Cisco since September 5, 2001:

Oooh ooh! <raises his hand> WE do! Of course we've got 20TB of
fileserver work space we deal with for our file storage and render
output. Get a couple hundred fast CPUs cranking away all at once and
your core switches start to feel the pain. Also, backups are fun.
