While IEEE 802 Ethernet technology has
existed for over 25 years, it lacked an industry voice that
represents the spectrum of IEEE 802 Ethernet standards
developments. The Ethernet Alliance fills that role. It serves the
IEEE 802 Ethernet industry as a whole to assist with the ongoing
incubation, development, launch and sustained support of various
Ethernet technologies. The Ethernet Alliance is
designed to be an organization that will exist as long as Ethernet
does.
