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.
Full Duplex
Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and
receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.
Gigabit Ethernet
A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the
CSMA/CD access method.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
IEEE 802.3
Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD)
access method and physical layer specifications.
IEEE 802.3ab
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2002.)
