Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3
Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format,
and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, and
management objects, but with a tenfold increase in
theoretical throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
and a one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps
Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and
100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet
provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a
company’s existing investment in hardware, software,
and trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by
Gigabit Ethernet are essential in coping with the
network bottlenecks that frequently develop as
computers and their busses get faster and more users
use applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading
key components,
such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit
Ethernet can greatly improve network response times
