Ethernet: Implemented Standards
The Ethernet model operates according to the following standards:
- Gigabit Ethernet: IEEE 802.3z-1998
- Full-Duplex Ethernet with Flow Control: IEEE 802.3x-1997
- Fast Ethernet: IEEE 802.3u-1995
- Ethernet: IEEE 802.3-1998
Note: switches don't implement the Spanning Tree Protocol. You need to
avoid cycles in the LAN topology.
