What constitutes "standard" and "high-speed" is a moving target, in that applications in the general
networking industry are pushing standard and Fast Ethernet toward retirement. For example, Fast
Ethernet isn't especially fast compared to the latest Gigabit Ethernet standard, 10 GigE, which
provides a throughput of about 10 Gbps. As network electronics compatible with 10 GigE proliferate
and Gigabit Ethernet electronics for workstations become more affordable, the throughput on
virtually every scientific network, like the minimum workstation clock speed, will be in the giga-
range.
