Passed my 5th SCNA (Sun Certified Network Administrator for
Solaris 8) exam yesterday so my cv has been updated. In with the
new and out with the old: I took off the old Solaris 2.4/2.5
certificates and put XHTML on instead. The plan is to go XHTML
1.1 Strict for the whole site and then maybe try to create an
even more (? sic!) minimal design utilising a simpler
stylesheet. I came across this a trying to find out what a
"jabber" was (preparing for a network exam). The answer to this
and the question in the title is found in the
comp.dcom.lans.ethernet FAQ: In the following table, c refers to
the speed of light in a vacuum, or 300,000 kilometers per
second. Medium Propagation Speed ------ ----------------- Thick
Coax .77c (231,000 km/sec) Thin Coax .65c (195,000 km/sec)
Twisted Pair .59c (177,000 km/sec) Fiber .66c (198,000 km/sec)
AUI Cable .65c (195,000 km/sec) From these values, the size of a
bit on 10BaseT can be calculated. 10BaseT is twisted pair, which
has a propagation delay of 177,000 km/sec. 177,000
