 | | A duplex gigabit card can completely swamp the whole PCI bus in a standard PC which can cause problems since this PCI bus is meant to be share by the other cards in the machine. | | | Ethernet was originally developed by Digital, Intel and Xerox (DIX) in the early 1970's and has been designed as a 'broadcast' system, i.e. | | | The U/L bit is used in Token Ring A destination Ethernet MAC address starting with the octet '05' is a group or multicast address since the first bit (LSB) to be transmitted is on the right hand side of the octet and is a binary '1'. |

| | Cisco - Strategic Directions: Introduction to 10 Gigabit Ethernet |
| | The newest version of Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, moves the decimal point from one to ten gigabits per second, enabling Ethernet to match the speed of the fastest technology on the WAN backbone, OC-192, which runs at approximately 9.5 Gbps. | | | Finally, it should be pointed out that 10 Gigabit Ethernet PMDs are needed at both ends of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet link between the gigabit switch or router and the LTE (see Table 1). | | | Ethernet remains an asynchronous link protocol, so that timing or synchronization is maintained within each character in the bit stream of data and the receiving router, switch, or hub has the opportunity to retime the data and resynchronize at the beginning of the character. |

| | Gigabit Ethernet was originally designed as a switched technology and used fiber for uplinks and connections between buildings. | | | Gigabit Ethernet specification calls for three types of transmission schemes over various wire media. | | | Fast Ethernet, in combination with switched Ethernet, can create an optimal cost-effective solution for avoiding slow networks since most 10/100Mbps components cost about the same as 10Mbps-only devices. |

| | Ethernet |
| | Gigabit Ethernet, for example, is defined to operate over either twisted-pair or optical fiber cable, but each specific type of cable or signal-encoding procedure requires a different physical layer implementation. | | | All higher-speed Ethernet specifications include definitions for managed objects and control agents that are compatible with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and that can be used to gather statistics about the operation of the network nodes and to assist in network management. | | | The solution for Fast Ethernet was to reduce the maximum network diameter by approximately a factor of 10 (to a little more than 200 meters). |
