Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet

1000-Mbps Ethernet

Bit time: 1ns Slot time: 4096 bit times. Frame has the same format as is used for 10 and 100-Mbps Ethernet. The differences between standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet occur at the physical layer!

1000BASE - T

Medium: CAT5 UTP. 4D-PAM5 line encoding. 1000BASE-T supports both half-duplex as well as full-duplex operation.

1000BASE-SX and LX

Medium:
1000BASE SX: short-wavelength 850nm laser. 1000BASE LX: long-wavelength 1310nm laser.

Uses 8B/10B encoding converted to nonreturn to zero (NRZ) line encoding. Full duplex

Gigabit Ethernet architecture

10GbE compare to other varieties of Ethernet

Frame format is the same Only full-duplex fiber connections are used, CSMA/CD is not necessary The IEEE 802.3 sublayers within OSI Layers 1 and 2 are mostly preserved, with a few additions to accommodate 40 km fiber links and interoperability with SONET/SDH technologies. Flexible, efficient, reliable, relatively low cost endto-end Ethernet networks become possible. TCP/IP can run over LANs, MANs, and WANs with one Layer 2 Transport method.

The IEEE 802.3ae Task force and the 10Gigabit Ethernet Alliance (10 GEA) are working to standardize these emerging technologies.
