What is the difference between Standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet?
Standard Ethernet is the original that runs at 10 Mbaud/s. Fast Ethernet is 10 times faster than standard Ethernet and runs at 100 Mbaud/s. Gigabit Ethernet is 100 times faster than standard Ethernet and runs at 1,000 Mbaud/s. Gigabit Ethernet is generally used for high-speed backbone architectures that are required to handle a large number of devices on the network.
