100 Mbps. There are several speeds for Ethernet; the term "Fast Ethernet" is used for the 100 Mbps variety.
Fast Ethernet runs at 100Mbit and requires CAT5e cables. Gigabit Ethernet is 1,000Mbit and requires CAT6 cables
iSCSI runs over Ethernet so it is limited by the speed of your network. iSCSI theoretically runs at 100Mbit, 1000Mbit or 10000Mbit. However there are many other factors that influence its actual speed.
If you want greater speed, why not use gigabit ethernet? Just remember that all the devices and cabling must be capable of that speed or you won't actually see that speed.
Ethernet is the most popular networking technology used in LANs. Fast Ethernet is used to refer to any version of Ethernet that meets or surpasses the 100 Mbps transfer speed.
The best way to test Ethernet speed is via a LAN speed test. Totusoft offers such a speed test, as do Nuts About Nets' NetStress and ReadError's NetMeter
Topology means how the network is physically wired; it doesn't have anything to do with speed necessarily. Did you mean Fast Ethernet (100BaseTX)?
Here’s a concise overview of the differences between Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet: 1. **Speed** **Ethernet**: 10 Mbps **Fast Ethernet**: 100 Mbps **Gigabit Ethernet**: 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) 2. **Standards** **Ethernet**: IEEE 802.3 (e.g., 10BASE-T) **Fast Ethernet**: IEEE 802.3u (e.g., 100BASE-TX) **Gigabit Ethernet**: IEEE 802.3z (fiber) and 802.3ab (copper, e.g., 1000BASE-T) 3. **Transmission Medium** **Ethernet**: Twisted pair or coaxial cables. **Fast Ethernet**: Twisted pair (Cat 5) and fiber optics. **Gigabit Ethernet**: Twisted pair (Cat 5e or better) and fiber optics. read more...tinyurl. com/578xthwt
No, you don't need it, but speed is a nice thing to have in a LAN.
Just properties of the network card. The speed of connection is there. Knowing the speed and capabilities of the network card you are looking at, you can find out which interface is used at another end. PS: The speed you will see is the highest both devices can support in the same time.

Category 5 was developed for Fast Ethernet.
(From: Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ 6th Edition pg. 846) The three variations of Ethernet are primarily distinguished from one another by speed: (1) 10-Mbps Ethernet, (2) 100-Mbps or Fast Ethernet, and (3) 1000-Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet.
