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.
