   I have a compromise for @enigmatico that will make his obsession with Ethernet happy. What if we just add Ethernet mode to USB 4.something, so that you could run Ethernet over usb-c cables? And then just make usb-c-rj45 cables.

     @newt @enigmatico you can already rub Ethernet over USBC. Granted, it's only gigabit speeds.

     @newt @fu

     Yeah. Gigabit should be good enough for *most* people's use-case, but if you want to transfer massive amounts of data it can actually become a bottleneck.

     For example, if you need to transfer 1TB of data, it would take 2.2 hours at consistent gigabit speeds. Peeps with home servers in the tens of Terabytes may require higher transfer rates than 1 gigabit can provide.

     @fu @enigmatico @Graycot depends? It’s certainly not enough for a lot of applications, like NAS or anything involving RDMA.
