  • Page 6: Fast Ethernet Technology

    Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area network into different segments, which do not compete with each other for network transmission capacity.
