I recall 40Gbit/s Ethernet being promoted heavily for similar reasons as the ones in this article, but then 100Gbit/s being the technology that actually ended up in most places. Could this be the same thing happening?
no. the IEEE working group was split between 40GE and 100GE and ended up supporting both. As a result, the vendors ended up having to split time and resources investigating both, which was to the huge detriment of the industry. It's a good thing that they're deciding on a single spec, even if it isn't as fast as some people might like. Nick
