以太网的标准发展历史详细表格分析

以太网是在70年代初期由Xerox公司PaloAlto研究中心推出的。1979年Xerox、Intel和DEC公司正式发布了DIX版本的以太网规范，1983年IEEE802.3标准正式发布。初期的以太网是基于同轴电缆的，到八十年代末期基于双绞线的以太网完成了标准化工作，即我们常说的10BASE-T。

随着市场的推动，以太网的发展越来越迅速，应用也越来越广泛。下面简单列一下以太网的发展历程：

70年代初，以太网产生；

1929年，DEC、Intel、Xerox成立联盟，推出DIX以太网规范；

1980年，IEEE成立了802.3工作组；

1983年，第一个IEEE802.3标准通过并正式发布

通过80年代的应用，10Mb/s以太网基本发展成熟

1990年，基于双绞线介质的10BASE-T标准和IEEE 802.1D网桥标准发布

90年代，LAN交换机出现，逐步淘汰共享式网桥

1992年，出现了100Mb/s快速以太网

通过100BASE-T标准(IEEE802.3u)

全双工以太网(IEEE97)

千兆以太网开始迅速发展(96)

1000Mb/s千兆以太网标准问世(IEEE802.3z/ab)

IEEE 802.1Q和802.1P标准出现(98)

10GE以太网工作组成立(IEEE802.3ae)
