Cisco, IBM and other big names are behind standards efforts and while there is some dispute over exactly what to call this technology, vendors seem to be moving ahead with it and it's already showing up in pre-standard products. "I don't see any show-stoppers here — it's just time," says one network equipment maker rep. "This is just another evolutionary step. Ethernet worked great for mundane or typical applications — now we're getting to time-sensitive applications and we need to have a little bit more congestion control in there.""
