25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium Offers Low Latency Specification for 50GbE, 100GbE and 200GbE HPC Networks

Today the 25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium announced the availability of a low-latency forward error correction (FEC) specification for 50 Gbps, 100 Gbps and 200 Gbps Ethernet networks. "Five years ago, only HPC developers cared about low latency, but today latency sensitivity has come to many more mainstream applications," said Rob Stone, technical working group chair of the 25G Ethernet Consortium. "With this new specification, the consortium is improving the single largest source of packet processing latency, which improves the performance that high-speed Ethernet brings to these applications."
