Thought there already was a 100-gigabit-per-second Ethernet spec. But it seems that still isn’t quite practical enough (cost? range?) for common use. Nor is the 40-gigabit-per-second fallback. So here we have two more lesser specs: <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/01/31/25g_and_50g_ethernet_spec_finalised/>.

Trevor Pott tries to make sense of it all: <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/06/decoding_25gb_ethernet_and_beyond/>.
