installed base. Compatibility with 10Mbps Ethernet ensures that users will
be able to migrate to Fast Ethernet at a pace appropriate to their installation
and needs.
10/100 Switching Technology
An integral extension of Fast Ethernet, 10/100 switching provides not
only a 100Mbps high-speed connection for carrying aggregated 10Mbps
traffic, it also handles the necessary conversion of MAC between
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Combining Fast Ethernet and switching
technologies provides both bandwidth for local workgroups and a high-
speed link to carry local traffic elsewhere in the network.
