Only if we're bringing back Token Ring, too.

That might be challenging, I hear people are pretty short on tokens these days.
There's only one token! It's just very popular.
While we're at what about older physical layers? Coaxial based stuff seems cool in 2026
Isn’t that what MoCa is for?
Isn’t twinax just “I heard you like coax so I put coax in your coax.”
twinax I think is used more like a balanced line with shielding. Twisted pair is preferred because it is cheaper, but for short stuff like SATA the cost difference is so low it might as well be used
If it’s not 10BaseT I can’t see small spread adoption.
Arcnet for me.
