Wait so what would happen if it was only 1000? Like, can’t any connection automatically support up to its limit? What’s the advantage of explicitly supporting lower numbers?
Support for older/slower connections does get dropped sometimes. I’ve seen devices that are 100/1000 only, and I had a fiber->ethernet box that only supported 1G/10G one one port, and 10/100/1000 on the other.
