About Fast Ethernet

Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by
IEEE Standard 802.3u. It extends the traditional
10Mbps Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps
transmission and reception, while retaining the
same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus while Fast
Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network
capacity, it is completely compatible with
traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network facilities.

About Auto-negotiation

Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802.3 procedure of
negotiating the highest data flow capability be tween
the device (in this case, the Adapter) and its link
partner (some other device). The data flow
information consists of the data speed (10Mbps or
100Mbps) and data transfer (half-duplex or
full-duplex communication). The physical process
of auto-negotiation requires only a few milliseconds
to choose the fastest communications capability
between the two devices.
