Summary of Gigabit Ethernet: Technology and Applications for High-Speed LANs

Gigabit Ethernet is divided into three parts--Foundations of Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet Technology, and Applying Gigabit Ethernet. The first section strolls down memory lane, telling the story of Ethernet itself, one of the industry's most venerated technologies. Seifert ends these preliminary chapters with sections on how Gigabit Ethernet will address some of the older technology's drawbacks. The section on Gigabit Ethernet technology begins with an overview of the standard and its technological fundamentals, ends with the irreverently titled "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gigabit Ethernet Standard," and delves into media access control, hubs, and physical layer architecture in between. Wrapping up this volume are chapters covering how Gigabit Ethernet would be deployed in a real-world network, performance issues, and competing technologies. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt
