The technological myth that electrons propagate at the speed of light is
certainly false. Electronic drift is a fraction of the speed of light
(in a vacuum = approximately 300 million meters per second) and is on
the order of centimeters or meters per second , depending on the
electronic pressure through the wire (aka, "voltage").

Some of the more knowledgeable may be shocked (pun intended) to learn
that even electronic signal propagation (not the same as actual movement
of electrons through a wire) proceeds at far below the speed of light in
a vacuum, some say half the speed, other sources claim one-fifth the
speed, and of course this does not take into account line impedance,
heating effects, etc.

Brian,

You don't have to prove it to me.  After reading a couple of explanations
that framed the header size as the constant (as opposed to the bit times) it
was a little easier to see how they got the wording for B.  I certainly
wasn't disputing the relationship to the cable diatmeter.

Thanks for the input, though!

Well answer B is correct. The diameter of the network is in fact 10 times
smaller than 10Mb/sec. This is because the 802 committee wanted to keep
CSMA/CD. I don't see how it can be disputed the cable diameter is 10 times
smaller on Fast Ethernet than regular 10baseT. Full Duplex is the same way
it looks for collisions (smart). Proof: go to this link and go to 100BaseT
Operation.

I didn't care much for either of those choices.

The propagation delay for Ethernet must not be greater than 512 bit times or
you'll get late collisions (as Tim said).  Since the speed of light is
constant and 10-baseT bits last 10 times longer than 100-baseT bits, that
directly influences how long of a cable you can run down and back!
