As streaming media applications such as video and multi-media become common, the demands for faster data rates will increase and create new applications that will benefit from the higher bandwidth offered by category 6.
Difference between category 5e and category 6 is in the transmission performance, and extension of the allowed bandwidth from 100 MHz for [...]

Network topologies are categorized into the following basic types:

bus
ring
star
tree
mesh

Bus Topology:
In Bus networks  a single cable, the backbone functions as a shared communication medium that devices attach or tap into with an interface connector. A device wanting to communicate with another device on the network sends a broadcast message onto the wire [...]

A unicast packet has a single source IP address and a single destination IP address.A multicast packet has a single source IP, but it has a multicast destination IP address that will be delivered to a group of receivers.
In Multicast multiple hosts can receive the same multicast stream (instead of individual streams) to save bandwidth.
Internet [...]

Category-6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards.
Cat-6 give good control over crosstalk and system noise.
Cat-6 cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX [...]

Power over Ethernet (PoE) also known as “inline power” is the ability for the LAN switching infrastructure to provide power over a copper Ethernet cable to an endpoint (Powered Device).It is a revolutionary technology that integrates data, voice and power on standard Ethernet infrastructure providing new options for power distribution. This allows IP telephones, wireless [...]
