Gigabit Ethernet: History & Standards

In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is the transmission of Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second. The most popular variant, 1000BASE-T, is defined by the IEEE 802.3ab standard. It came into use in 1999 and has largely replaced Fast Ethernet in wired local networks due to its considerable speed improvement over Fast…
