  • Page 36: Appendix B Topology

    Appendix B Topology Standalone The physical size and the number of topological elements in a 100BASE- TX network is limited primarily by round-trip collision delay to 205 meters. That is while the 100BASE-TX has 10 times faster bit rate than 10BASE-T, its duration of the JAM sequence is, therefore, 10 times shorter (note: A JAM is a signal, in Ethernet, generated by a network interface to let other interfaces in the network know that a collision has happened.).

  • Page 37: Backbone Network Topology

    Topology For example, internal local traffic such as that generated by a manufacturing department can be easily handled by a single 10 Mbps connection. However, when the manufacturing department needs access to the corporate database, the traffic could travel over a 100BASE-TX connection, thereby increasing the speed of transmission.
