100-Gbps Ethernet is coming.

The article discusses the 802.3ba, the designation for a 100-gigabytes per second (Gbps) and 40-Gbps Ethernet communications standard, established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in December 2007. It states that the standard will likely specify either 4 by 25-Gbps lanes or 10 by 10-Gbps lanes since transmitting a single lane at 100 Gbps is not possible with the current technology applied.
