Bandwidth to Support Convergence
Convergence means combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single network. Enterprises usually need to expand their LAN bandwidth and set up a QoS or Quality of Service priority system to give priority to real-time streams such as telephone calls or video conference feeds, which are more sensitive to network delays than data transfers. Most often, the common protocol for convergence is IP.

What does Convergence mean?
Convergence is the merging of voice, data and often video onto a single network. Most often that network is a company LAN with enough bandwidth to accommodate all users and QoS or Quality of Service control to ensure high quality voice and video transmissions.

Is Ethernet a Full or Half Duplex system?
The original Ethernet implementation was based on avoiding collisions on packets all sharing the same network line. Small networks using hubs are half-duplex. Switched Ethernet networks are full duplex because the layer 2 switches prevent packet collisions.

How does Spanning Tree Protocol work?
STP or Spanning Tree Protocol is a technique used by Ethernet switches to ensure that there is one and only one physical path from source to destination. This is done to prevent forwarding loops.

What is Ethernet over Fiber?
Ethernet over Fiber or EoF means transporting Ethernet protocol signals over metro distance or long haul circuits, using IP protocol networks. Your interface is a standard Ethernet jack from the carrier supplied premesis equipment.
