16.Appendix A - Ethernet Technology
This chapter will d escribe the features of the D-Link DGS-1100 MP/MPP Series switch and provide
some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet swit ching tec hn olo g y.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is a n extension of IEE E 802.3 Ethernet u tilizing the sam e packet structure, f ormat,
and support for CSMA/CD pr otoc ol , f ull duplex, and management objects, but with a t enf ol d inc r ease
in theoretical throughpu t of over 100-Mbps F ast Ethernet and a hundre dfold increase over 10-Mbps
Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit
Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting existing investments in hardware,
software, or trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Giga bit Ethernet is essential to help solv ing
network bottlenecks that frequently develop as more advanced computer users and newer
applications continue to demand greater network resources. Upgrading key com ponents, such as
backbone connections and servers to Gigabit Ethernet technology can greatly improve network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support video conferencing, complex
imaging, and similar da ta-intensi ve applica tions. L ikewise, s ince data tr ansfers occur 10 tim es faster
than Fast Ethernet, s ervers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NI C’s are able to perform 10 times the
number of operations in the same amount of time.
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective
method to take advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing
internetworking techn ologie s. And with expecte d adva nces in the com ing years i n silicon tec hnolog y
and digital signal proc essing that will enab le Gigabit Ethernet to e ventually opera te over unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps-capable
backbone/server connection which will creat e a flexible found ati on f or th e n ex t ge ner ati on of net wor k
technology products.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexit y of desktop computing applications
are fueling the need f or high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN tec hnolog ies have
been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among
them, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the current
10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth evolution nature, and the dominating
potential market base, virtually guarantees cost-effective and high performance Fast Ethernet
solutions.
100Mbps Fast Ether net is a s tandard spec ifie d b y the IEEE 8 02.3 L AN c omm ittee. It is an ex tens ion
of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while
maintaining the C SM A/CD Ethernet protocol. Si nc e t h e 10 0M bps Fas t Eth er net i s com pat ible wit h all
other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and utilizes existing
investments in hardware, software, and personnel training.
Switching Technology
Another approach to push beyond the l imits of Ethernet tec hnology is the development of switching
technology. A s witch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol
transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increas ing the t o ta l net wor k c apac it y availa ble to user s on a loca l
area network. A switch inc reases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local ar ea
53
D-Link DGS-1100 MP/MPP Series Switch User Manual
network into different segments which won’t compete with each other for network transmission
capacity.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. The switch,
without interfering with any other s egments, automaticall y forwards traff ic that needs to go from one
segment to another. B y doing this the total network capacity is multiplie d, while still maintainin g the
same network cabling and adapter cards.
