IEEE 802.3 Ethernet IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet ANSI X3T9 Fibre Channel Ethernet – Table of Contents Part 1: IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Part 2: IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet Floor 4 Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Switch Part 3: IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet Floor 3 Hub Stack Bridge / Router Fast WAN Ethernet Switch Floor 1 Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 2 Ethernet – History • Developed by Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre • First published by Digital Equipment, Intel, and Xerox as DIX (DEC, Intel, Xerox) standard • Strongly changed and standardised by IEEE in the IEEE 802.3 • Therefore, two different versions are existing: – Ethernet version 2 (DIX) – IEEE 802.3 – differences are mainly in the Media Access frame • Topology of an Ethernet is logically (mostly physically, too) a bus Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 3 Ethernet – Technological Overview • A lot of standards exist for different Ethernet versions: – 1Base5 (Starlan), 10Base5 (Ethernet), 10Base2 (Cheapernet) – 10BaseT, 10BaseF, 10Broad36 – 100BaseTX, 100BaseFX, 100BaseT2, 100BaseT4 – 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-CX, 1000Base-T – 100BaseVG, 100VG-AnyLAN • First number identifies transfer rate (1=1MBit/s, 10=10MBit/s, ...) • Base = baseband transmission, Broad = broadband transmission • Last digit, number, or character identifies characteristics of the transmission medium: – T = twisted pair, FX/LX/SX = fibre optics, CX = shielded balanced copper, T4 = 4 pair twisted pair, T2 = 2 pair twisted pair – length of a segment - 2=185m,
