What is 25 Gigabit?

An industry consortium, 25G Ethernet Consortium,[3] was formed by Arista, Broadcom, Google, Mellanox Technologies and Microsoft in July 2014 to support the specification of single-lane 25-Gbit/s Ethernet and dual-lane 50-Gbit/s Ethernet technology. The 25G Ethernet Consortium specification draft was completed in September 2015 and uses technology from IEEE Std. 802.3ba and IEEE Std. 802.3bj.

In November 2014, an IEEE 802.3 task force was formed to develop a single-lane 25-Gbit/s standard,[4][5] and in November 2015, a study group was formed to explore the development of a single-lane 50-Gbit/s standard.[6]

In May 2016, an IEEE 802.3 task force was formed to develop a single-lane 50 Gigabit Ethernet standard.[2]

On June 30, 2016, the IEEE 802.3by standard was approved by The IEEE-SA Standards Board.[7]

On November 12, 2018, the IEEE P802.3cn Task Force started working to define PHY supporting 50 Gbit/s operation over at least 40 km of SMF.[8]

The IEEE 802.3cd standard was approved on December 5, 2018.
