one sits in the buffer an incredibly short amount of time (Gig Ethernet has a very short MTU/bps) while the other one is transmitted. -Original Message- From: Chuck Larrieu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 3:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: elementary? [7:63

Thanks everyone for their replies. As I now understand it, the 1Gb uplink just moves data faster than... say, a 100Mb uplink. Correct? Conversations between hosts on each switch still take place one at a time, thereby obeying Ethernet rules of one station transmitting at a time. Correct? Okay

your GE x-connect, in this instance, is basically a serial line - see the TX and RX fibres in the GBIC? conversations would occur one at a time, and be multuplexed (statistically Mux-ed). The conversations would be queued and transmitted one frame at a time, but that frames from the
