ETHERNET
ETHERNET
• Communication standard developed in early 80s to network
computers and others devices in a local environment.
• LAN
• Connects multiple devices so that they can create, store and share
the information with other nodes in the network.
• Ethernet is wired system( initially it was coaxial), now twisted pair
cable and optical fiber wiring.
• 1983 – IEEE – 802.3
• Operates in physical layer and data link layer of OSI model.
PHYSICAL LAYER: CABLING AND DEVICES
• LOC: establishes paths for data on the Ethernet to transmit b/w devices.
• MAC: uses n/w address that are assigned to NIC to identify specific
components to show the source and destination of data transmission.
• In data link layer the Ethernet transmits the data by using CSMA/CD
• CSMA/CD is used to reduce data collision and increase data transmission
speed.
• It checks weather any traffic on the network. If not so it will send first bit of
information to see if a collision occurs.
• If first bit is send successfully then other bits also start to send with
collision test.
