Study Notes
Ethernet Basics
- Ethernet is the infrastructure used by all wired LANs
- Ethernet's functions and features are defined by IEEE 802.3 standards
- Ethernet network nodes build data frames to access the network media.
- Ethernet speeds have increased over the years, primarily through increased media bandwidth and hardware.
- Network nodes are identified by MAC address. Data is transferred using Ethernet frames
CSMA/CD - Past and Present
- Half-duplex Ethernet allows only one node to access a network segment at a time.
- Problems occur when multiple nodes try to send data at the same time (resulting in collisions).
- Ethernet's CSMA/CD methodology allows access without colliding frames.
- The CSMA part monitors the media to check if another node is transmitting.
- The CD part deals with collisions that occur
Origins of Ethernet
- Researchers at Xerox PARC developed Ethernet standards in the early 1970s to facilitate data exchange between computers.
- Ethernet standards have changed hands over several revisions.
- The IEEE 802.3 working group is responsible for updating and controlling Ethernet standards.
- The Ethernet II frame format uses a Type field, while the IEEE 802.3 frame format uses a Length field.
