Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet are various types of ethernet and are very high in speed.
Following are the important differences between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Sr. No. | Key | Fast Ethernet | Gigabit Ethernet |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Successor | Fast Ethernet is successor of 10-Base-T-Ethernet. | Gigabit Ethernet is successor of Fast Ethernet. |
2 | Network speed | Fast Ethernet speed is upto 100 Mbps. | Gigabit Ethernet speed is upto 1 Gbps. |
3 | Complexity | Fast Ethernet is simple to configure. | Gigabit Ethernet is quiet complex to configure. |
4 | Delay | Fast ethernet generates more delay. | Gigabit ethernet generates less delay than Fast Ethernet. |
5 | Coverage Limit | Fast Ethernet coverage limit is upto 10KM. | Gigabit Ethernet coverage limit is upto 70KM. |
6 | Round trip delay | Fast Ethernet round trip delay is 100 to 500 bit times. | Gigabit Ethernet round trip delay is 4000 bit times. |
