for transmission. Unlike circuit switching in traditional telephone networks, which requires the establishment of a dedicated point-to-point connection, each packet in a packet-switched network ...

100Base-X uses two physical links, one for transmission and one for reception, between nodes. 100Base-T uses medium access control protocol (MAC). The IEEE 802.3 committee developed the standards for ...

There are two types of Fast Ethernet: 100Base-X and 100Base-T. 100Base-X uses two physical links, one for transmission and one for reception, between nodes. 100Base-T uses medium access control ...

High-level transport protocols such as TCP/IP ensure that all the data sent in a transmission is received properly at the other end. See packet switching. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.
