You would use gigabit ethernet in a LAN where you want speed; otherwise, most LANs run at 100 megabits per second, which is considerably slower.

How would you implement a gigabit Ethernet network?

If you are talking about a LAN, then just making sure that all devices and cables are capable of gigabit speeds.


In what context is the term gigabit ethernet used?

Gigabit Ethernet is the term used to describe the transmission of Ethernet frames at a rate of one gigabit per second. It started being used in early 1999.


If you want to upgrade your 100BaseT Ethernet so that it will run about 10 times the current speed what technology would you use?

You would want to move to a Gigabit network. This will require a switch capable of Gigabit speeds, network cabling capable of Gigabit speeds (Cat 5e for example), and a network interface on a computer that is also Gigabit rated. Most modern switches are Gigabit rated (even inexpensive soho switches).

What is gigabit in relation to Ethernet?

Gigabit in relation to Ethernet refers to the data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), which is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). This speed is commonly associated with Gigabit Ethernet standards, such as 1000BASE-T, which enable high-speed data transmission over twisted-pair cables. Gigabit Ethernet is widely used in local area networks (LANs) to support bandwidth-intensive applications and improve overall network performance.


Why would a realtek 8168 LAN card not work at 1gbit speed even though it says that in the manual?

In order for you to achieve gigabit data rates, you need: * A gigabit Ethernet card (as you have) * A gigabit router * Cabling that is of correct length and quality to carry a gigabit signal. If these conditions are not met, the card will drop to the next available transfer rate.


What is an Ethernet and how is it related to a LAN?

Ethernet is a set of protocols to establish a LAN.


What is also known as gigabit Ethernet?

Gigabit Ethernet is also known as 1000 mega bits per seconds (Mbps). It is a part of the family of Ethernet computer networking and communication standards.
