Gigabit Ethernet/Frame Encapsulation
Benefits of GigE
- Efficient use of bandwidth (as compared to ATM)
- Low cost interface
- High bandwidth (i.e., more than OC12)
- Can function in broadcast domain
- GigE access available in some areas
Benefits of Frame Encapsulation
- Efficient use of bandwidth (as compared to ATM)
- Low cost interface
- High bandwidth (i.e., OC48)
- WAN Protocol
