Explanation
In DCI (Data Center Interconnect) scenarios, the client-side interface connects the DCI device to the data center's internal servers or switches, where modern workloads demand high throughput - making 10GE and 100GE the industry-standard choices for this role. 10GE covers legacy or mid-tier server connections, while 100GE handles high-density, bandwidth-intensive workloads increasingly common in cloud and hyperscale deployments.
FE (Fast Ethernet, 100 Mbps) is eliminated because it cannot support the traffic volumes of any modern data center. GE (1 Gigabit Ethernet) is also ruled out - though it was once viable at the access layer, it falls far short of DCI client-side requirements where tens or hundreds of gigabits per port are the norm.
Memory tip: Think "DC = Demanding Capacity" - data centers skip the slow stuff (FE, GE) and go straight to 10GE/100GE on the client side, reserving even higher rates (400GE+) for the line/WAN side.
