I did not agree of disagree with any speed, I just tried to make clear what was exactly proposed.

Is there really much point spending all the time and effort needed to define a new 800G standard which is only a 2x speed increment? Why not just use 2 400G interfaces?

Just because we *can* define another standard doesn't mean we *should*...

I presume 1.6T and 800G for switches and 800G for servers, for 800G on servers and no 800G on switches would be challenging to connect….

2)      My view of the right next rate steps after 400Gb/s Ethernet are 1.6T for switches and 800G for servers, but not 1T.
