INTRODUCTION

This section describes the features of the 9-port 10/100/1000Mbps
NWay Gigabit Ethernet Switch and provides some background
information about Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Switching
technology.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, which utilizes
the same packet structure, packet format, and supports CSMA/CD
protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects.
Performance wise, the theoretical throughput of the Gigabit Ethernet is
ten times faster than the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 100 times faster
than the 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and
100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a
straightfo rward upgrade without wasting company’s existing
investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet
are essential to cope with the network bottlenecks that caused by the
traffics generated from faster computers and applications that require
more bandwidth. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone
and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response
times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your
subnets.

Fiber Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support
video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive
applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than
