Txawm hais tias Gigabit Ethernet thiab Ethernet ob leeg muaj tib lo lus "Ethernet", lawv kuj yog cov qauv siv thev naus laus zis sib xws, thiab ob qho tib si siv los xa cov ntaub ntawv hauv ib cheeb tsam network, tab sis lawv tseem muaj qee qhov sib txawv. Qhov sib txawv ntawm lawv feem ntau yog nyob rau hauv kev sib kis ceev.
Thaum Ethernet thawj zaug tshwm sim, nws tau hu ua 10BASE-T vim tias nws txhawb nqa kev sib kis ntawm 10 Mbps. Tom qab ntawd, nrog kev txhim kho ntawm kev tshawb fawb thiab thev naus laus zis, Fast Ethernet tau tshwm sim, uas feem ntau hu ua 100BASE-T. Nws ceev dua Ethernet thiab txhawb 100 Mbps. Lawv kuj hu ua 10/100 Ethernet.
Gigabit Ethernet nrawm dua li ib txwm Ethernet thiab Fast Ethernet. Nws txhawb kev sib kis ceev ntawm 1000 Mbps, lossis 1 Gbps, thiab tseem hu ua 1000BASE-T.
