This section describes the features of the Switch, as well as giving
some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, and switching technology.
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
are proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them, Fast Ethernet, or
100BASE-T, provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the
current 10BASE-T technology. The dominating market position
virtually guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast
Ethernet solutions in the years to come.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a 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 Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD) Ethernet protocol.
