An overview of gigabit ethernet - technology and standards for communications professionals will include complete description of the operation of a gigabit ethernet network including a coparison of performance issues with other high speed LAN alternatives. It will cover different types of implementations: desktop, workgroup, backbone. Special section on migration issues. Should have a broad appeal due to coverage of implementation issues.
