In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit
Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of
today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing
internetworking technologies. And with expected advances in
the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal
processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually
operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting
your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps-capable
backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for
the next generation of network technology products. data-
intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers
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 Ethernet environments, it provides a straightforward
