This is a webpage designed to meet the requirements for the webpage design assignment in CIS 367. This is the first time I have attempted publishing a webpage, so if it looks plain I'm sorry but this is all hit and miss right now. |

The contents of Chapter 10 cover Ethernet and Fibre Channel so the content of this page will contain this information in hopes it will help me prepare for the class discussion. |

Over the last few years, there have been fast changes in the world of technology, design and commercial applications for LANs. In order to keep up with these changing needs many approaches are now available commercially. Some of these approaches include: Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, High-Speed wireless LANs. |
|
|
|
Emergence of High Speed LANs- Two trends that changed the way PCs and the requirements on LANs were the growth of speed and power of computers. In addition, how MIS organizations found that LANs are a valuable tool in how day-to-day operations can be greatly improved. |

Traditional Ethernet ? The term Ethernet is often used to refer to a set of standards know as CSMA/CD set within the IEEE 802 LAN standards committee by the 802.3 group. While there are now systems that operate at 100Mbps, 1Gbps and 10gbps the traditional system operates at 10 mbps over a bus topology LAN using the CSMA/CD. |
|
|
|
Bridges, Hubs & Switches ? bridges, hubs and switches connect LANs to other LANs and WANs. While some are used to connect identical protocols, others can connect different protocols. |
|
|
|
High-Speed Ethernet - To accommodate higher data loads, systems can be built with various segments interconnected with hubs, which act as barriers separating the LAN into collision domains. A set of specifications developed to provide a low-coast, Ethernet-compatible LAN operating at 100 Mbps. 100 BASE-X - a uni-directional data rate of 1? Mbps is achieved transmitting over a single link. |
|
|
|
Fibre Channel - combines the simplicity and speed of channel communications with the flexibility and interconnectivity of protocol-based network communications. |
