100Base-T
100Base-T4
100Base-TX
802.2 SNAP
802.3
An IEEE Standard (802.3) for local area networks. Complying networks
must be able to carry information at a rate of 10 Mb/s over distances up
to 100 meters of unshielded twisted-pair cable.
An IEEE Standard (802.3) for local area networks. This term is
synonomous with Fast Ethernet and encompasses 100Base-TX,
100Base-T4, and 100Base-FX.
The IEEE 802.3u specification for transmitting 100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet
over four pairs of copper wire (including Categories 3, 4, and 5).
The IEEE 802.3u specification for transmitting 100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet
over two pairs of copper wire.
(Sub-Network Access Protocol)A variation on the 802.2/802.3 scheme
which expands the 802.2 LLC header to provide sufficient space in the
header to identify almost any network protocol.
An IEEE standard for Ethernet local area networks based on Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD), which
includes 10BASE2, 10BASE 5 and 10BASE-T.
