Current local area network Ethernet is the single most extensive form. Ethernet originally designed by Xerox, and based on the early design, called Alohanet. After initial creation of the Ethernet is successful, the product has undergone further enhanced under the auspices of the Xerox Corporation, Intel, as well as in December.
Ethernet is how to get its name?
Robert · Metcalf, is the work of one of the original design, came up with the name. Based on optical transmission once thought are found in the entire universe of light propagation is a major component of the idea of ether. Because of wiring, as a medium, is a bit passive function, the correlation between ether and seems to be a good choice.
How does Ethernet work?
Ethernet usually use twisted pair or coaxial cables in the basic design of wired LAN. However, the same general principles apply to Ethernet and wireless. Variety of devices connected to a cable or wire and connect to the Ethernet communication overload sense multiple access and collision detection.
Under normal circumstances, Ethernet systems are collectively referred to as 10 base-t and has the capacity to produce speeds of up to 10 Mbps.
What are some types of Ethernet?
Along with the standard 10 base-t, there are today known as fast Ethernet. Properly be designated as 100m, able to produce this form of Ethernet is the transfer speed of up to 100 megabits per second. In General, the fast Ethernet is used as a backbone LAN system, with 10 base-t card to support LAN workstation.
Gigabit Ethernet to take the process a step further. This form of Ethernet provides up to 1000 Gigabit/second, need a lot of support to manage local and remote workstations ideal for large networks.
10,000 Gigabit Ethernet provides the maximum power available today. This type of Ethernet provides up to 10 billion bits per second, the fastest currently available version.
