Modern enterprises and organizations rely more and more on LANs to provide network connectivity for a growing variety of complex and mission-critical desktop applications.The increasing multimedia transmission on networks, such as video-conferencing or remote white boarding, and also the converging trend to integrate voice, video and data on a single physical infrastructure are all contributing to more bandwidth-intensive traffic. 

The growing use of 100Base connection, however, is creating a clear need for an even high-bandwidth technology at the backbone and severs level. 

As higher bandwidth has been deployed more and more at the edge of the network, bandwidth at the backbone must increase considerably to accommodate the aggregate traffic. It turns out that the most suitable solution is Gigabit Ethernet.
