| 100BaseVG A 100 standard specified to run over four pairs of wires (known as voice grade, hence the "VG"). It is also called 100VG-AnyLAN because it was defined to carry both and types. 100BaseVG was originally proposed by , ratified by the in 1995 and practically extinct by 1998. 100BaseVG started in the IEEE 802.3u committee as . One faction wanted to keep in order to keep it pure Ethernet, even though the problem limited the distances to one tenth that of . Another faction wanted to change to a polling architecture from the hub (they called it "demand priority") in order to maintain the 10baseT distances, and also to make it a . The CSMA/CD crowd said, "This is 802.3 — the Ethernet committee. If you guys want to make a different protocol, form your own committee". The IEEE 802.12 committee was thus formed and standardized 100BaseVG. The rest is history. (1998-06-30) |
