The faster a network, the more rapidly it sends a file from one computer to another. Networking speeds are measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Standard Ethernet transmits data at a speed of 10 Mbps, which is ample performance to send business files quickly to other computers and printers. Fast Ethernet is identical to Ethernet, only ten times faster at 100 Mbps. A single LAN can support both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections. This paper explains about Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
