Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for
CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, and management objects,
but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over
100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase
over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all
10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit
Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without
wasting a company’s existing investment in hardware,
software, and trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit
Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks
that frequently develop as computers and their busses get
faster and more users use applications that generate more
traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone
and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic
between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables Twisted-Pair cable connections to
support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar
