Ethernet
Ethernet is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards. It uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access method to handle simultaneous demands. CSMA/CD is a
The first version of Ethernet supported data transfer rates of 10 Mbps, and is therefore known as
Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a newer version of Ethernet, supporting data transfer rates of 100 Mbps. Fast Ethernet is sufficiently similar to Ethernet to support the use of most existing Ethernet applications and network management tools. Fast Ethernet is also known as
Fast Ethernet is standardized as IEEE 802.3u.
Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet supports data rates of 1 Gbps. It is also known as
Gigabit Ethernet is standardized as IEEE 802.3z.
