Lantronix Fast Ethernet Tutorial: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Technologies Fast Ethernet ports on Ethernet switches are used to provide even greater bandwidth between the workgroups at 100Mbps speeds. Between Ethernet switches, Fast Ethernet repeaters are used to connect a group of switches together at the higher 100 Mbps rate. Full-duplex Ethernet enables the connection speed to be doubled by simply adding another pair of wires and removing collision detection; the Fast Ethernet standard allowed full-duplex Ethernet. www.lantronix.com /learning/net-tutor-fastetnt.html   (1555 words)

Fast Ethernet (Linktionary term) The primary concern of Fast Ethernet developers was to preserve the CSMA/CD medium access method of 802.3 Ethernet while boosting the data rate. Fast Ethernet is traditional CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access/collision detection) access control at 100 Mbits/sec over twisted-pair wire. During the early development of Fast Ethernet, two different groups worked out standards proposals-and both were finally approved, but under different IEEE committees. www.linktionary.com /f/fast_ethernet.html   (1563 words)

Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet Fast Ethernet is the most popular of the newer standards and is an extension to 10BaseT, using CSMA/CD. Fast Ethernet repeaters are divided into two classes of repeater, Class I and Class II. Ethernet 1.0 did not have this in its standard and 802.3 says that repeaters must not connect to a transceiver that generates the SQE test because of the Jam signal that is designed to prevent redundant collisions from occurring. www.rhyshaden.com /ethernet.htm   (13057 words)

Resilient Fast Ethernet Ring - RAD Data Communications Ethernet technologies, first 10 Mbps Ethernet, then 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and more recently 1,000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, offer much lower cost structures as compared to SDH/SONET. Ethernet's built-in recovery mechanisms during a fiber cut are comparatively slow (30 seconds) and not suitable for path level protection, which ensures carrier-class levels of service restoration. Ethernet is also not very efficient at implementing global fairness policies for sharing ring bandwidth. www.rad.com /Article/0,6583,13872,00.html   (2538 words)

fast Ethernet - Glossary - CNET.com Fast Ethernet is an upgraded standard for connecting computers into a local area network (LAN). Also referred to as 100BaseT, fast Ethernet is more expensive and less common than its slower 10BaseT sibling. It works just like regular Ethernet except that it can transfer data at a peak rate of 100 mbps. www.cnet.com /Resources/Info/Glossary/Terms/fastethernet.html   (52 words)

Ethernet The solution for Fast Ethernet was to reduce the maximum network diameter by approximately a factor of 10 (to a little more than 200 meters). Fast Ethernet was required to provide backward compatibility with earlier Ethernet networks, including the existing IEEE 802.3 frame format and error-detection procedures, plus all applications and networking software running on the Increasing the Ethernet transmission rate by a factor of ten over 10Base-T was not a simple task, and the effort resulted in the development of three separate physical layer standards for 100 Mbps over UTP cable: 100Base-TX and 100Base-T4 in 1995, and 100Base-T2 in 1997. www.cisco.com /univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/ethernet.htm   (10000 words)

Son of Gigabit Ethernet After Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and the most-recently completed Gigabit Ethernet, the industry is already starting to look ahead to 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Standardization of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet took just a couple of years, but the standards process could take a little longer than that for 10-Gigabit, Grow says.

comp.dcom.lans.ethernet FAQ Ethernet is the IEEE 802.3 series standard, based on the CSMA/CD access method that provides two or more stations to share a common cabling system. The original Ethernet specification began in the early 1970's by Xerox PARC, and was eventually improved upon by Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel, and Xerox (DIX) in 1980 with the release of Ethernet Version 1. The design goals for Ethernet were to create a simply defined topology that made efficient use of shared resources, was easy to reconfigure and maintain, provided compatibility across many manufacturers and systems, while keeping the cost low. www.faqs.org /faqs/LANs/ethernet-faq/index.html   (3983 words)

Ethernet Codes: Vendor codes Ethernet hardware addresses are 48 bits, expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits (0-9, plus A-F, capitalized). These 12 hex digits consist of the first/left 6 digits (which should match the vendor of the Ethernet interface within the station) and the last/right 6 digits which specify the interface serial number for that interface vendor. According to some informal correspondence, when the IEEE assigns an Ethernet address block, a block of 2**25 is reserved. www.cavebear.com /CaveBear/Ethernet/vendor.html   (373 words)

Ethernet & Related Terminology Ethernet has 10Mbps throughout and uses a carrier-sensing access method in which workstations share a network cable, but only one can use the cable at a time [Computers Unlimited]. More specifically, Tech Target.com refers to it as "Bandwidth (the width of a band of electromagnetic frequencies) is used to mean (1) how fast data flows on a given transmission path, and (2), somewhat more technically, the width of the range of frequencies that an electronic signal occupies on a given transmission medium.

Circuit Cellar - Digital Library - CCO A Gigabit Ethernet repeater must support all 1000-Mbps technologies and operate at a fixed speed of 1000 Mbps (no 10/100/1000 or 100/1000 capabilities are defined, although there are multi-speed Gigabit switches available on the market). So, a 10/100-Mbps Ethernet frame containing only 100 bytes would require a carrier extension field of 412 bytes to be used over Gigabit Ethernet. When the demand for bandwidth exceeded the 100-Mbps Ethernet, it was natural to think about extending Ethernet to 1000 Mbps, rather than use some other, incompatible technology like ATM or FDDI. www.circuitcellar.com /library/ccofeature/antonakos0402/3.htm   (879 words)

AceNIC Gigabit Ethernet for Linux There seems to be a common misunderstanding that by plugging in a Gigabit Ethernet card, one will magically achieve ten times the performance compared to a machine with a Fast Ethernet connection. Gigabit Ethernet has some ``interesting'' properties (some people will even use the word `sick' to describe it) due to the way it was designed. In particular it is important to notice that the media speed was cranked up by a factor of 100 from good old Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet, without increasing the MTU size, which is still 1500 bytes. home.cern.ch /~jes/gige/acenic.html   (1110 words)
