GLOSSARY

ETHERNET

Anetwork communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable.

FAST ETHERNET

A100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/ CD access method.

FULL-DUPLEX

Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.

GIGABIT ETHERNET

A1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/ CD access method.

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

IEEE 802.3

Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications.

IEEE 802.3AB

Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)

IEEE 802.3AE

Defines the physical layer specifications for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
