Star Topology
A new feature is added in fast Ethernet called as auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation
allows two devices to negotiate mode or data rate of operation.
The following figures shows the implementation of Fast Ethernet.
Here 100 indicate the data rate 100Mbps and Base indicates baseband signal.
Gigabit Ethernet
The IEEE standard for this is 902.3z. The important points of Gigabit Ethernet are
1. Data rate of 1 Gbps was achieved
2. it is compatible with standard Ethernet and fast Ethernet
3. it uses same 48-bit address
4. it uses same frame format
5. supports the auto-negotiation of fast Ethernet.
6. Uses Ethernet frame format and MAC technology
7. CSMA/CD access method.

10 gigabit Ethernet
IEEE committee name for 10 gigabit Ethernet is 802.3ae. The goals of the ten-gigabit
Ethernet design can be summarized as follows:
1. Data rate is 10 Gbps
2. Compatible with standard,fast and gigabit Ethernet.
3. uses 48-bit address
4. Allow the interconnection of existing LANs into a metropolitan area networks
or a wide area network
5. The following are the implementation of 10-Gigabit Ethernet
