objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet
and a hundredfold 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 a company’s existing investment in hardware, software and trained
personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet is essential to coping
with the network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their bus speeds get
faster and more users use applications that generate more traffic. 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.
