From the Back Cover

Switched and Fast Ethernet, the natural evolution of the industry standard Ethernet LAN technology, are surefire means of getting more bandwidth and better performance in the increasingly pervasive world of network computing. In this first book on the subject, you'll follow expert Intel network engineers and authors Robert Breyer and Sean Riley on a detailed Ethernet tour. You'll first view the most important trends in the networking industry, such as the history of Ethernet, what is driving the need for more band width, and the future of high-speed communications. You'll also discover the specific techniques for deploying high speed Switched and Fast Ethernet in today's networks, with sections on specific components - including adapters, hubs, switches, routers, and more; topology and wiring - including coverage of unshielded twisted pair, patch panels, fiber optic cabling, and others; simple step-by-step guide for deploying Switched and Fast Ethernet networks; implementation, management, and troubleshooting hints; and the latest information on the new IEEE 803.2U (100BASE-T) standard and its implications.

Synopsis

Switched and Fast Ethernet are two high-speed Ethernet hardware technologies, which provide extra bandwidth for Ethernet networks. This text, aimed at LAN administrators and IT professionals, focuses on the theory and background of Switched and Fast Ethernet technology.
