HIGH-SPEED LANS 16.1 The Emergence of High-Speed LANS 16.2 Ethernet 16.3 Fibre Channel;KEY POINTS ? The IEEE 802.3 standard, known as Ethernet, now encompasses data rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps. For the lower data rates, the CSMA/CD MAC protocol is used. For the 1-Gbps and 10-Gbps options, a switched technique is used. ? Fibre Channel is a switched network of nodes designed to provide high-speed linkages for such applications as storage area networks. ? A variety of signal encoding techniques are used in the various LAN standards to achieve efficiency and to make the high data rates practical.;The most important of high speed Lans are: ? Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet: The extension of 10-Mbps CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detection) to higher speeds is a logical strategy because it tends to preserve the investment in existing systems. ? Fibre Channel: This standard provides a low-cost, easily scalable approach to achieving very high data rates in local areas. ? High-speed wireless LANs: Wireless LAN technology and standards have at last come of age, and high-speed standards and products are being introduced.;The following are examples of requirements that call for higher-speed LANs: ? Centralized server farms ? Power workgroups ? High-speed local backbone;ETHERNET The most widely used high-speed LANs today are based on Ethernet and were developed by the IEEE 802.3 standards committee.;The Channel Allocation Problem;However, when the number of senders is large and continuously varying or the traffic is bursty, FDM presents some problems. If the spectrum is cut up into N regions and fewer than N users are currently interested in communicating, a large piece of valuable spectrum will be wasted. If more than N users want to communicate, some of them will be denied permission for lack of bandwidth, even if some of the users who have been assigned a frequency band hardly ever transmit or receive anything. However, even assum
