Networking basics

FAST ETHERNET

Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3u that extends the traditional 10 MBps (10 megabit/sec) Ethernet technology to achieve 100 MBps (100 megabit/sec) transmission and reception. Because Fast Ethernet retains the traditional Ethernet CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, and Collision Detect) protocol, it remains wholly compatible with 10 MBps Ethernet while providing a tenfold increase in network capacity.

AUTO-NEGOTIATION

Auto-negotiation controls the cable when a connection is established to a network device. Auto-negotiation detects the various modes that exist in the device and automatically configures it to the highest performance mode of operation.
