*Base10 is for ISLs, core connections, and other high speed applications demanding maximum bandwidth. Except for 100GFC (which follow

Ethernet standards and compatibility guidelines), each Base10 speed is expected to be compatible at least one previous generation.

Equivalent Line Rate: Base10 rates listed are equivalent data rates for serial stream methodologies.

Pre-Standard Solutions: There are several methods used in the industry to aggregate and/or trunk 2 or more ports and/or data stream lines toachieve the core bandwidth necessary for the application.
