convey a signal measured in units of hertz (Hz).
broadcast storm
An undesirable network event in which many broadcasts are
sent simultaneously across all network segments. A
broadcast storm uses substantial network bandwidth and,
typically, causes network time-outs.
10BASE-T
10BaseT, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a
distance limit of approximately 328 feet (100 meters) per
segment. See also Ether Channel and IEEE802.3.
100BASE-TX
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two
pairs of either UTP or STP wiring. The first pair of wires
receives data; the second transmits data. To guarantee the
proper signal timing, a 100BaseTX segment cannot exceed
328 feet (100 meters) in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
standard.
100BASE-FX
A 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two
strands of multimode fiber-optic cable per link. To guarantee
proper signal timing, a 100BaseFX link cannot exceed 1312
feet (400 meters) in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
standard.
Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation (formerly NWay) is an Ethernet procedure
by which two connected devices choose common
transmission parameters, such as speed and duplex mode. In
this process, the connected devices first share their
capabilities as for these parameters and then choose the
fastest transmission mode they both support.
QoS Quality of Service
HOL
Head-Of-Line. HOL arises when packets arriving at different
input ports are destined for the same output port.
full duplex
Capability for simultaneous data transmission between a
sending station and a receiving station.
half duplex
Capability for data transmission in only one direction at a time
between a sending station and a receiving station. BSC is an
example of a half-duplex protocol.
MDI
A medium dependent interface (MDI) port or an uplink port is
an Ethernet port connection typically used on the Network
Interface Card (NIC) or Integrated NIC port on a PC.
MDIX
Medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) (the “X”
representing “crossover”) is a female RJ-45 port connection
on a computer, router, hub, or switch. Straight through cables
connect pins 1 & 2 (transmit) on an MDI device to pins 1 & 2
