Gigabit Ethernet<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>describes the various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames<\/em> at a rate of a gigabit per second. This technology supports transfer rates and is currently being used as the backbone in many enterprise networks.<\/p>\n

Gigabit Ethernet<\/strong> is carried primarily on optical fiber with very short distances possible on copper media. Gigabit Ethernet increases speed tenfold over Fast Ethernet to 1000 Mbps and dominates the high-speed local area network and server connectivity. Since Gigabit Ethernet<\/em> significantly leverages on Ethernet, customers will be able to leverage their existing knowledge base to manage and maintain gigabit networks.<\/p>\n

Most decisions to upgrade a network follow the overall reduction in performance of the network. Bottlenecks can occur at the backbone, servers, server connections and the connection to the Internet. Network managers should assess their bandwidth needs based on the following:<\/p>\n
