All devices are connected to the hub/switch.Įthernet connector is a network interface card equipped with 48-bit MAC address.
Ethernet follows star topology with segment length up to 100m. It provides 10MB/s data transmission speed and uses coaxial cable and CAT-5 Twisted pair with RJ-45 connector. 10’ depicts 10MB/s speed for data transmission. Traditional Ethernet used ’10Base-T’ specification. Ethernet uses shared media and has a high probability of data collision. Ethernet is the technology that is used for data sharing between LAN(Local Area Network). On the occurrence of collision in Ethernet, all of its hosts and packets roll back and wait for some random time and then retries with the data. Ethernet uses CSMA/CD(carrier sense multiple access/collision detection) as wired for collision detection.
It is a widely used technology in LAN because of the following features: Ethernet is a technology that helps devices to communicate with each other in a LAN(Local Area Network) using some protocols. But In 1980, It was standardized in (IEEE 802.3).
What Is Ethernet? Ethernet is a widely deployed LAN technology.
