Ethernet specification that refers to the 10BaseFB, 10BaseFL, and 10BaseFP standards for Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling. 10BaseT, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distance limit of approximately 100 meters per segment. Ethernet specification using broadband coaxial cable. 10Broad36, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distance limit of 3600 meters per segment. Baseband - Characteristic of a network technology where only one carrier frequency is used.
Ethernet is an example of a baseband network.
Also called narrowband. The computing industry has determined that all network architectures must meet certain criteria. These are reliability, modularity, connectivity, ease of use, ease of modification, and ease of implementation. Reliable - a network architecture must provide a means for error detection as well as facilities to correct the error. Connectivity - a network architecture must be able to incorporate a variety of hardware and software products in such a way that they can function in an interoperable and unified manner.
