Fast Ethernet

Have you guys heard of Fast Ethernet? It is that it supports a maximum data rate of 100 M-bps. It is so named because original Ethernet technology supported only 10 M-bps. Fast Ethernet began to be widely deployed in the mid-1990s as the need for greater LAN performance became critical to universities and businesses.

Believe me, it is very easy to use a Fast Ethernet/A key element of Fast Ethernet's success was its ability to coexist with existing network installations. Today, many network adapters support both traditional and Fast Ethernet. These so-called "10/100" adapters can usually sense the speed of the line automatically and adjust accordingly. Just as Fast Ethernet improved on traditional Ethernet, Gigabit or byte Ethernet improves on Fast Ethernet, offering rates up to 1000 Mbps instead of 100 Mbps.
Also known to be 100 Mbps Ethernet.
