10GigE
10GBASE-T
- Reuses the existing 1000BASE-T MAC
- Full duplex only
- 4 connector, 4 twisted pairs (lanes) copper cabling
- 10-level PAM code (3 bits/symbol)
- Retains 8-state 4D trellis code across pairs
- 833 Mbaud, ~450MHz bandwidth
- Echo-cancelled transmission, FEXT cancellation
- 10Gbps = 4 lanes * 833 Mbaud * 3 bits/baud
10GBASE-CX4
- Short distance copper twin-ax
GigE
- 5-level PAM code (2 bits/symbol)
- 125 Mbaud, ~80MHz bandwidth
Fast Ethernet
Addresses
An address is unicast if the least significant bit of the first byte is 0. Otherwise, it is either broadcast:
- FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF: segment broadcast
or multicast:
Local Network Control Block (224.0.0/24)
- 01:00:5e:00:00:01 (224.0.0.1): All-Hosts
- 01:00:5e:00:00:02 (224.0.0.2): All-Routers
- (224.0.0.22): IGMP
- (224.0.0.251, ff02::fb): mDNS
- 33:33:00:01:00:02 (ff02::1:2): DHCPv6 server/relay
Locally-assigned Addresses
If the penultimately-significant bit is 1, the address is "locally assigned" (read: made up). This is used by the Linux kernel's rand_hw_addr() function, used by PPP and TAP.
