March 2003: 10G Ethernet demonstrated over several kilometers of fibre in the lab - this is 10G Ethernet driving the optical fiber directly - no conversion to OC192.

July 2003: 1G Ethernet demonstrated over several thousand kilometers - between Canada and CERN, transferring 700 Gigabytes of data in 6.5 hours. This appears to be a world first.

August 2003: 10G Ethernet demonstrated over 250km dark fiber directly between Copenhagen and Odense. This appears to be a world first for distance in the field at this speed. Currently we are making measurements on the link performance, and hope to run over greater distances in the near future.

February 2004: 10G Ethernet demonstrated over 525km from Lyngby to Aalborg. This uses only optical amplification and dispersion compensating fibres. A GRID computing experiment was also done with 250km of the 10G Ethernet lonk as a datafeed "backbone".

March 2004: Scalable switch architecture demonstrated.

Progress on the 10G scalable switch is not publicly available at present.
