Abstract :
An Ethernet bridge has been built that has a range exceeding 39 km and a full bandwidth of 10 Mbaud. The bridge is transparent to all Ethernet packets and is suitable for distant system control, distant high-speed data collection, and all normal Ethernet use. The requirements for the bridge, the approach chosen, and the bridge performance are discussed.<>
