I didn't say IEEE standards aren't worldwide, I simply stated that the performance gains from the IEEE standard revision will largely benefit transfer speeds between systems on a LAN.

I'll put it into perspective. Say we have a fiber optic line straight from Tokyo to Los Angeles. Say we have perfect conditions to run data through it. In this perfect, never-going-happen, situation, it'll take the packet 41ms to travel that distance. Now add in the time it takes the server to process and send out the packet. Then add in all of the different routing that needs to happen before it even leaves Tokyo. Now add in some more routing before it even gets to you from your ISP. Now add in the time it takes to process and render the information on the screen.

All of it adds up and this doesn't even include the callbacks and packet loss that happen. No change in IEEE standard is going to reduce this amount of time significantly.

I don't think you understand how this stuff works.

99% of all intercontinental communications on planet Earth go across these transoceanic cables. These cables aren't IEEE 802.3 compliant, the pipelines handle terabits of data per second. These are the highest quality fiber optic cables we have in the world.

But each hop between nodes, and each meter traveled across these cables takes time my friend. As of right now in the human world, there is no faster way to send data to another continent than through these cables. The IEEE 802.3 standard refers to copper and short range fiber optic cables, which have absolutely zero bearing on international communication lines.

yeah i get what you guys are saying but what you both fail to realize with recent activity in the oceans, trans-oceanic cable transfer are becoming extinct, company’s worldwide are turning to satellite upload rather than cabling itself.
And i know the ieee standard is for close range land termination rather than over sea, but what you failing to realize networks speeds are growing because of this from say new york to washington dc, they are replace with these standards, and in doing so your pc house say in long island ny goes to hub in manhattan and then is sent to dc then to another pc from there.
