Ethernet
Ethernet is a data transfer protocol for local area networks (LANs)
and was developed by Xerox in 1972.
The IEEE802.3 standard specifies the
characteristics
of Ethernet. Its access method is CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access /
Collision
Detection). Depending on the field of application, the current transfer rates
range from 10
MBit/sec to 10 GBit/sec.
Mainly twisted pair and fibre optical cables are used
as
connection cables.
Due to its simple installation and service as well as due
to its low
costs, Ethernet is the most commonly used bus system for private users and the
industry.
