Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) transmission standard that
provides a data rate of 100 megabits per second
(referred to as "100Base-T"). Workstations
with existing 10 megabit per second (10Base-T)
Ethernet card can be connected to a Fast Ethernet network. (The 100 Mbps
is a shared data rate; input to each workstation is constrained by the
10 Mbps card.)
