<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Medical imaging comes to mind. We have a veterinary
college on campus that is considering going digital format for all medical
files, namely x-Rays. I believe these files are measured in gigabits. I
can't imagine a vet waiting almost a minute to load a file. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also strongly believe that Gigabit nics and
switchports even if not used to their full potential offer better performance
than 100mbps NICs and switchports. We plugged a 100mbps NIC into a 1Gbps
switchport on the same switch and the performance more than
doubled.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>That's possible, however, then it comes down to what is being used on
that workstation that might possibly need that type of bandwidth? And
obviously some QoS would be involved, so if you're worried about somebody
using 100Mb for an http stream, then you'd need to control that... I can't
think of anything short of local streaming video that might possibly even need
100 Mbps.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the phone. That talks on the network too. So maybe their concern
is at the PC/Workstation level and want greater than 100Mbps

[cisco-voip] GiGE phones -what for?!? <BR><BR><BR>Hi, everyone,<BR><BR>I
have had a strange request from a subsidiary of ours, in regards to
a<BR>new<BR>VoIP network design, in an office environment with 100-150
users, in<BR>regards<BR>to supporting GiGE to the all the end points, and
high end 6500's at the <BR><BR>core, w/720 SUP's. The Cisco reps were
asking for that presumably<BR>because of<BR>need to support GiGE phones.
And here is my question: what would you use<BR><BR>Cisco GiGE phones for
(what application on the phone would be able to <BR>push<BR>and require
such port speeds)?!?<BR><BR>As as a side note: our original design
provided 4500's and 10/100<BR>modules to<BR>the end points, except for a
module with GiGE for file servers<BR>connectivity.<BR>Of course the
pricing of the former is triple compared to the latter, <BR>but I<BR>would
like to find out some technical aspects related to justifying
the<BR>first<BR>option, before even bringing up the cost
issue.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Stefan<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>cisco-voip
