千兆位以太网标准化进程最后阶段的迟缓可能会使对该技术的正式批准至少延时到初夏。就在去年11月,该标准的支持者们还希望这个过早提出的为在千兆位以太网基础上的网络设备制定的标准能够在1998年3月得到批准,现在最早被 IEEE 批准的目标日期是6月的某个时间。但由于该组织每3个月才召开一次会议,因此如果几个争论点届时还不能解决,批准可能延时到9月。许多市场研究人员预测千兆位以太网的市场规模到2000年将达到15亿美元。据该工作负责人说,现在延时的主要原因与以多模光纤为基础执行该技术有关。现在基本上是让许多束光线以不一样的速度穿过光导管,导致不同的光线不能同时到达终
Delays in the final stages of the Gigabit Ethernet standardization process may delay official approval of the technology until at least early summer. Just last November, proponents of the standard also hoped that this prematurely proposed standard for network equipment based on Gigabit Ethernet could be approved in March 1998 and was now the first target approved by the IEEE. The date is sometime in June. However, since the organization only convenes a meeting every 3 months, if several issues cannot be resolved at that time, approval may be delayed until September. Many market researchers predict that the Gigabit Ethernet market will reach $1.5 billion by the year 2000. According to the person in charge of the work, the main reason for the delay is related to the implementation of this technology based on multimode fiber. Basically, it is now that many beams pass through the light pipe at different speeds, so that different lights cannot reach the end at the same time.
