MPLS recognizes that small ATM cells are not needed in the core of modern networks, since modern optical networks () are so fast ( at 40 Gbit / s and beyond ) that even full-length 1500 byte packets do not incur significant real-time queuing delays ( the need to reduce such delays — e. g., to support voice traffic — was the motivation for the cell nature of ATM ).

Competitions were held around tracks of varying lengths — the 1885 match between Axel Paulsen and Remke van der Zee was skated on a track of 6 / 7 mile ( 1400 metres )— but the 400 metre track was standardised by the ISU in 1892, along with the standard distances for world championships, 500 m, 1500 m, 5000 m and 10, 000 m. Skaters started in pairs, each to their own lane, and changed lanes for every lap to ensure that each skater completed the same distance.
