Wired networking connections provide the foundation of the Local Area Network. Incoming connections, Data Center interconnections, IT closet facilities, and stationary computing devices have all traditionally been connected to the network via a series of cables. The primary benefit to a wired connection is that the wire provides a standard level of service (performance, security, reliability) which can be relied upon in all situations. Typically, wired connections (correctly installed) have an extremely low failure rate and provide a standard of service which helps provide a very low cost for support per connection. Once…
Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet was introduced to the commercial marketplace in 1980, and has replaced other LAN technologies. It’s a baseband LAN specification invented by Xerox Corporation that operates at 10Mbps using carrier sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/CD) to run over coaxial cable. Ethernet was designed to serve in networks with sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic requirements, and the IEEE 802.3 specification was developed in 1980 based on the original Ethernet technology. In simpler terms, 802.3 is the standard defining a wired network, known as Ethernet, whereas 802.11 defines a standard for wireless networking.…
With the advancement information technologies such as multi-core processors, digital media and mega storage architectures, increased Ethernet capacities will continue to be developed. It is likely that approximately every five to seven years will produce new standards to meet new technologies in Ethernet capacities. We can expect to see a greater push towards unified networking with an increasing emphasis on increased data storage at lower costs. New standards will be developed and evolve as the technologies continue to expand.…
Communication has changed vastly over the course of approx. 50 years of computer development. The phone was the origin of the technology used for communication over the internet. Phone lines were used for dialup connections which allowed users to communicate over the phone lines. This presented a problem though; When a person in the house would use the phone, the internet would not function properly, rendering dialup inefficient. The most recent form of connection is Ethernet. Ethernet allows Gigabit speeds and uninterrupted connection. This technology has allowed global near-instant sharing of data and information. The world trade system is reliant on the internet and therefore has been a huge focus by manufacturers worldwide.…
Networking plays a vital part in business today. It provides the tool to link people, software and hardware together. It is not bound by time differences, and it provides businesses the opportunity to work together in ways that would not have been possible 20 years ago. More and more corporations depend on networking within different faucets of their organization. With…
In 1970, a computer scientist Vinton Cerf had begun developing a way for all of the computers on all of the world’s mini- networks to communicate with one another. He called this invention of his Transmission…

All over the world, there are many different types of Ethernet. These networks are connected to each other through various media. When a data packet wants to reach a particular destination, it has to traverse through these networks. Essentially, there are a lot of operations that are taking place between the connected networks. Also, the packet data which is traversing has to choose an optimum route, and the addressing of these packets has to be proper. The various operations between the networks, packet data issues, addressing and routing, are handled by this network layer.…

Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks, known as LANs. Ethernet was commercially introduced in 1980 and standardized in 1985. Ethernet has largely replaced competing wired LAN technologies such as a token.…
In 1976 from a previous specification called Alohanet, Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox PARC. Later, it was further developed by the other companies like INTEL, DEC, AND Xerox. Wire is used to connect the devices in Ethernet. Coaxial cable or special grades of twisted pair cables are used in wire of the Ethernet. 10 BASE-T is the most commonly used Ethernet that provides 10 Mbps data transmission speed.…

Also LAN are usually connected by Ethernet cables,have high speed connections and relatively inexpensive while MAN are often interconnected wirelessly using microwave radio links or fiber-optics and provide moderately fast transmission rates but can prove costly to install (very expensive).…
The advantages of Ethernet are cost, availability of materials, the fact that most PCs come with network cards that support Ethernet connectivity and speed. Data transfer rates can range from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. The main disadvantages are as network loads increase performance goes down and troubleshooting network issues can be difficult if you are using a bus topology.…
