GLOSSARY

Ethernet

A network 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

802.3standard 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

A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method.

Fast Ethernet Switch

Device that provides a full 100 Mbps bandwidth (or either 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth with auto-negotiation) to each port (LAN segment).

Full Duplex

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

Gigabit Ethernet

A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method.

IEEE 802.3

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

IEEE 802.3ac

Defines frame extensions for VLAN tagging.
