The first Gigabit Ethernet guide based on the final IEEE standard!

Gigabit Ethernet: The IEEE standard is in place, and the products are coming fast. Now's the time to understand the next quantum leap in Ethernet technology.

This book shows you exactly how to plan for Gigabit Ethernet, implement it, and maximize its performance. You'll discover how Gigabit Ethernet builds on the foundation established by 10 Mb and Fast Ethernet, and walk through the new 802.3z standard in detail, including:

• MAC operation.
• Flow control.
• Physical layer technology.
• Auto-Negotiation, and more.

You'll discover which applications will benefit most from Gigabit Ethernet, and learn how it compares with competitive technologies. You'll take a close look at Gigabit Ethernet hubs and switches, including new Layer 3 switches that deliver breakthrough performance. Then, you'll walk step-by-step through transitioning from 10 or 100 Mb Ethernet, analyzing Gigabit Ethernet networks, and tuning your network for maximum throughput. Finally, join the authors for a quick look deep into the 21st century to see what might come after Gigabit Ethernet.

Whether you're implementing Gigabit Ethernet or simply evaluating it, this book delivers timely insight for making the best possible decisions.
