How Ethernet Is Evolving Beyond the Data Center

Ethernet is the quiet backbone of the internet, but it's not standing still. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Ethernet is evolving beyond the data center to meet the demands of 5G, industrial IoT, and autonomous systems. They focus on the IEEE 802.3cz standard for 800 Gigabit Ethernet, the rise of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) for deterministic latency, and how companies like Cisco and Arista are pushing Ethernet into new realms like in-vehicle networking and factory floors. Luna challenges whether Ethernet can really replace dedicated fieldbus systems in manufacturing, while Lucas argues that its ubiquity and cost advantages make it inevitable. The conversation lands on a specific example: BMW's use of TSN over Ethernet for real-time control in its assembly lines. If you think Ethernet is just a cable in your office wall, this episode will change your mind. #EthernetEvolution #8023cz #800GigabitEthernet #TimeSensitiveNetworking #TSN #IndustrialIoT #AutonomousSystems #BMW #Cisco #Arista #NetworkEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InternetInfrastructure #Routing #DeterministicNetworking #IEEE Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
