Glossary
10 Base-T Twisted cable with the transmission speed 10 Mbit/s and the transmission
distance 100 meters (m). 10 Base-T is described in the IEEE 802.3i.
100 Base-T Twisted cable with the transmission speed 100 Mbit/s and the transmission
distance 100 m. 100 Base-T is described in the IEEE 802.3u.
1000 BaseT Twisted cable with the transmission speed 1000 Mbit/s and the transmission
distance 100 m. 1000 BaseT is described in the IEEE 802.3ab.
A
ATM
Asynchronous transfer mode. A connection-oriented network technology that
uses a fixed cell (53 bytes) to transfer services of multiple types such as text,
audio, or video data. The fixed length of the ATM cells enables hardware
processing of the cells and shortens the forwarding delay. ATM takes full
advantage of high-speed media such as E3, SONET, and T3.
E
Ethernet
A baseband LAN specification created by Xerox and developed by Xerox,
Intel, and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). This specification is similar
to IEEE802.3.
Ethernet_II A encapsulation format of the Ethernet frame. Ethernet_II that contains a
16-bit protocol type field is the standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0
encapsulation.
Ethernet_SNAP A encapsulation format of the Ethernet frame. The frame format complies
with RFC 1042 and enables the transmission of the Ethernet frame on the
IEEE 802.2 media.
F
FE
Fast Ethernet. A extension and enhancement of the traditional Ethernet
standard. In FE, the transmission speed increases to 100 Mbit/s. FE complies
with the IEEE 802.3u.
