A supplement to 802.3, the “Ethernet” carrier sense
multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CD) standard, 802.3aez defines
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) standards. The IEEE 802.3z formalized Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE). Two versions exist, both of which are compatible with 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet. Shared GbE, also known as 1000Base-T, essentially is a higher speed
version of 10/100Base-T, with the shared bus running at 1 Gbps. IEEE 802.3a and
802.3e define the standards for the 10 GbE. While GbE is backward compatible
with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, there are a few differences beyond raw speed, and it
does require upgrading.
