Table Chapter 1 -1, Ethernet vs. Fast Ethernet

Switching Technology

Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet is the development of Switching technology. A switch works in the MAC address level, bridging multiple Ethernet segments to prevent unnecessary network traffic from passing one another. In a properly subdivided switched LAN, the net result is a full and transparent bandwidth for each segment.

Switched Ethernet vs. Legacy Ethernet is analogous to using private telephone lines vs. party lines. By connecting to a switched port, each Ethernet segment has dynamic full
