Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Base-T) is a technology that can be integrated into
current 10 and 100 Base-T local area networks (LANs) and allow them to
upgrade easily to 1000 Mb/s. Gigabit Ethernet provides higher bandwidth
without a major change in infrastructure and is supported on major
platforms. It delivers an excellent business solution to increasing
requirements for bandwidth on a LAN.
Gigabit Ethernet technology offers the following advantages:
High performance
Standards-based technology
Cost-effective migration
Growing vendor support
