Use a bus or star topology and support data transfer rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) or 1 Gbps (gigabit Ethernet)

Other Information:

Local Area Network (LAN) architecture that uses a bus or star topology an dsupports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) or 1 Gbps (gigabi tEthernet). The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard ,which specifies the physical and lower software layers.
