● Understand the key differences among traditional Ethernet, Fast


Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
○ Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps)
○ Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 100 Gbps)

2
Hub Ethernet
● Nodes connected to hub
● Hub acts as a broadcast repeater
● Shorted cable runs, Useful for 100 Mbps
● CSMA/CD protocol
● Easy to add/remove users
● Easy to localize faults
● Cheap cabling (twisted pair, 10baseT)
Switched
Ethernet
● No CSMA/CD
● Easy to increase data rate (e.g., Gbit
Ethernet)
● Nodes transmit when they want
● Switch queues the packets and transmits
to destination
● Typical switch capacity of 20-40 ports
● Each node can transmit at the full rate of
10/100/Gbps Full-duplex
switched Ethernet
● Modularity: Switches can be connected to
each other using high rate ports Trend: Migration to
switched LANs

Fast Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3u)

Fast Ethernet was designed to compete with FDDI or Fiber


Channel.
● Data rate: 100 Mbps
● Fast Ethernet is backward-compatible with Standard
Ethernet.
Gigabit Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3z)
Data rate: 1Gbps. Compatible with
standard or Fast Ethernet
● Full-duplex mode
○ No collisions
○ Maximum length of the cable is
determined by the signal attenuation in the
cable.

● Half-duplex mode (Rarely used)


○ Switch is replaced by hub
○ Uses CSMA/CD.
○ Collisions may happen
Carrier Extension

● To allow for longer network, minimum frame length is increased


● Minimum length of the frame is 512 bytes (4096 bits)
● Forces a station to add extension bits (padding) to any frame
that is less than 4096 bits
Frame Bursting

● Multiple short frames to be transmitted consecutively in a


burst after MAC arbitration, up to 8192 bytes
● Padding is added between the frames to look like one frame so
that the channel is not idle.
● Except for the first frame, other frames sent in a burst need
not be carrier-extended.
● If the first frame is larger than 512 bytes, it need not be
carrier-extended.

Fast Ethernet vs
Gigabit Ethernet
● Gigabit Ethernet is more expensive than Fast Ethernet.
○ Upgrading of Fast Ethernet from Standard Ethernet is easy
and cost-effective while upgrading to Gigabit Ethernet
from Fast Ethernet is complex and expensive.
● Gigabit Ethernet requires specifically designed network
devices that can support the standard 1000 Mbps data rate
like Gigabit Ethernet switch.
○ Fast Ethernet requires no specific network devices.
10 Gigabit Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3ae)
● Operates only in full-duplex mode.
● No CSMA/CD.
● Allows interconnection of LANs, MANs and WAN
