Gigabit Ethernet
Vijay Moorthy, (moorthy@cis.ohio-state.edu)
Ethernet is the world's most pervasive networking technology. Gigabit Ethernet is the latest version of Ethernet. It offers 1000
Mbps ( 1 Gbps ) raw bandwidth, that is 100 times faster than the original Ethernet, yet is compatible with existing Ethernets, as it
uses the same CSMA/CD and MAC protocols. When Gigabit Ethernet enters the market it will compete directly with ATM. This
paper presents a survey of Gigabit Ethernet technology.

Gigabit Ethernet
1. Introduction
Ethernet is the world's most pervasive networking technology , since the 1970's. It is estimated that in 1996, 82% of all networking
equipment shipped was Ethernet. In 1995 ,the Fast Ethernet Standard was approved by the IEEE. Fast Ethernet...
