1.4 Technology

Fast Ethernet Technology

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications

are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have

been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them,

100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the current 10BASE-T

technology. The non-disruptive and smooth evolution nature, and the dominating potential market

base, virtually guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions in the years to

come.

100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an

extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps,

while maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible

with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and takes

advantage of the existing investment in hardware, software, and personnel training.
