Differentiate fast Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet.

1 Answer

Answer :

00-Mbps version called Fast Ethernet.  
1000-Mbps version called Gigabit Ethernet.  
Both 100-Mbps and 1000-Mbps Ethernets are designed to be used in full-duplex, point-to-point  configurations, which mean that they are typically used in switched networks.
