- Although the functional principles of Gigabit Ethernet are the same as Ethernet and Fast Ethernet i.e. CSMA/CD and the Framing format, the physical outworking is very different. One difference is the slot time. The standard Ethernet slot time required in CSMA/CD half-duplex mode is not long enough for running over 100m of copper, so Carrier Extension is used to guarantee a 512-bit slot time.
