as well as significantly speed up the traffic between
your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables Twisted-Pair cable
connections to support video conferencing, complex
imaging, and similar data-intensive applications.
Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster
than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit
Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the
number of operations in the same amount of time.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity
of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high
performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN
technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and
improve client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T
(Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from
the current 10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and
smooth evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base,
virtually guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast
Ethernet solutions in the years to come.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE
802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet
standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps,
while maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps
