Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for
network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the

A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each
other. Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
CSMA/CD
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) is the
communication method employed by Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit
Ethernet.
End Station
A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC,
Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical
bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard
provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer
and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin
coax and twisted-pair cable.
Fast Ethernet
A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the
CSMA/CD access method.
