This section describes the features of the DGS-3204, as well
as giving some background information about Gigabit
Ethernet and switching technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technolog
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for
CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, 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 is essential to 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
