 | | 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'. | | | 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. |

| | Cisco - Strategic Directions: Introduction to 10 Gigabit Ethernet |
| | 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. | | | 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). |

| | Some hub vendors offer switched 10 Megabit Ethernet hubs and consider switching so powerful that even at 10mbps they may be more effective than Fast Ethernet.As yet, Gigabit Ethernet has not been widely deployed on desktop computers. | | | Unlike the upcoming 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 802.3z is not a dramatic departure from Fast Ethernet technology. | | | Switched Ethernet, on the other hand, uses switched hubs that intelligently direct data frames between source and destination, rather than relying on subnetwide broadcast and packet collision detection methods. |

| | 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. | | | Capable of providing fast and constant connections, Ethernet can handle about 10,000,000 bits per second and can be used with almost any kind of computer. | | | Now, more than ever, it’s imperative for them to understand the basics of using various Ethernet technologies to manage their networks. |

| | For ethernet however, the 32 bit CRC limit is hard to change, so don't expect to see ethernet frame sizes above 9000 bytes anytime soon. | | | So jumbo frames on gigabit ethernet at worse add less delay variation than 1500 byte frames do on slower ethernets. | | | In the long run there is no reason to stop at 9000 byte frames, but given the current ethernet CRC limitation it is a good evolutionary step for gigabit data rates. |
