Gigabit Ethernet
 Ethernet
is a standard method of connecting computers to a local area
network (LAN) using coaxial cable. As an external hard drive
interface, it is most often used for network attached storage
(NAS) applications in which files can be shared across a
network.
Gigabit Ethernet, with its data
transfer rate of 1000 Mb/s, is the latest and fastest Ethernet
standard that evolved from the earlier Fast Ethernet (100 Mb/s)
and Ethernet (10 Mb/s) standards. Benefits of Gigabit Ethernet
include increased bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) features
that promote smooth transmission of audio and video, and
compatibility with existing Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. |
