Networking standard for twisted-pair cabling capable of carrying data at 10 Mbps.  

Networking standard for two pairs of high -quality twisted-pair wires carrying data at 100 Mbps.  

Networking standard for fiber-optic cabling capable of carrying data at 100 Mbps.  

Two-part process by which a network device automatically senses the speed and duplex capability of another 
device. 

Networking standard certifying that a copper wire cable can carry data at up to 100 Mbps.  

Concurrent Ethernet transmissions from two or more devices on the same segment. 

Networking standard for transmitting data at 10 Mbps.  

Networking standard for transmitting data at 100 Mbps.  

Cable made of thin glass threads that carry data in the form of light pulses.  

A communications technique that allows bi-directional, simultaneous transmission between two devices on a single 
segment. 

A communications technique in which one device on a segment transmits while the other receives, then the process 
is reversed. 

Set of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers standards for defining methods of access and control on 
LANs. 

Local area network. A network where computers are connected in close proxim ity, such as in the same building or 
office park. A system of LANs connected at a distance is called a wide -area network (WAN). 

Media access control address. A hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. 

Millions of bits per second.  

Section of a network bounded by bridges, routers, hubs, or switches. Dividing an Ethernet into multiple segments is 
a common way to increase bandwidth on a LAN. 

Switching feature where the port receives the entire incoming frame and stores it in the buffers while checking for 
runts and error frames before forwarding it to the destination port. 

Device that filters and forwards packets between LAN segments.  

Unshielded twisted pair; cabling with wires that are twisted around each other. The individual wires are not 
insulated. 

The ability to handle the fastest rate of traffic that a generator can deliver without dropping packets. On a 100 Mbps 
connection, wire-speed traffic is 148,809 packet s per second using 64-byte frames or 8,127 packets per second using 
1,518-byte frames.
