Auto-Negotiation
Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational
mode (e.g., speed and duplex mode) based on the capabilities of the node
to which it is connected.
Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for
network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the
data transmission along the cable.
