The 25G Ethernet Consortium has released a 25G/50G Ethernet specification to the public:

There's already product a-plenty on the market, but it still matters that the Google-led 25G Ethernet consortium has formalised the release of its technical specification. It follows the publication of the final report from last August's 25G/50G Ethernet plugfest. The plugfest demonstrated an impressive 882 25G link configurations (843 of which passed the test), and 360 50G link configurations (341 passed).

[...] As well as the specification (published by the 25G Consortium, registration required), the group will publish a list of certified integrators. In its statement, the 25G Consortium says the plugfest also demonstrated backwards compatibility (for example with 10 Gbps Ethernet connections).

    "Data will move at 100g/s on this spec". There, I beat them to it!

    But but but you didn't finalize it.

    what if 99.9999999999 is a better way to express it?

    If you're using microSD cards as carriers, a hundred grams per second is a pretty impressive amount of data.

    Half duplex? full duplex? Falls back to what speeds? And again, at half duplex, or full duplex? I am having trouble parsing your spec.

    At 100 grams per second?
