Isochronous Ethernet (isoENET)

• specification: IEEE 802.9 (it is not Ethernet!)

• isoENET is a hybrid of a normal 10baseT Ethernet and up to 96x 64 Kbps communication channels

• speed: 16.144 Mbps (10 Mbps - Ethernet data and isochronous 6.144 Mbps- time sensitive applications)

• access method: CSMA/CD

• applications: integrated voice and data networks

• characteristics: backward-compatible relationship between isoENET and Ethernet;

• topology: star (requires special isoENET hub and special NIC cards)

• wiring : twisted pair
