Backplane Test, 10GBASE-KR

The throughput of many racks of
communication equipment is limited by the backplane bottleneck. Often the hardest
part of a system to upgrade cost-effectively, there is a lot of effort going into
squeezing more bandwidth out of legacy backplanes. This isn't trivial, when some
were designed for 1.5 Gb/s and are now expected to function with upgraded line
cards at 3 or even 6 Gb/s. Effort is also going into 10 Gb/s and higher,
mainly aimed at new rack installations. Pre-emphasis and equalization are
frequently employed to overcome backplane frequency response effects.
