Networking basics

AST THERNET
Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3u that
extends the traditional 10 MBps (10 megabit/sec) Ethernet technology to achieve
100 MBps (100 megabit/sec) transmission and reception. Because Fast Ethernet
retains the traditional Ethernet CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, and
Collision Detect) protocol, it remains wholly compatible with 10 MBps Ethernet
while providing a tenfold increase in network capacity.

UTO NEGOTIATION
Auto-negotiation controls the cable when a connection is established to a
network device. Auto-negotiation detects the various modes that exist in the
device and automatically configures it to the highest performance mode of
operation.
