Ethernet is a widely used local area network (LAN) technology that allows computers and devices to communicate within a limited geographical area, such as a building or campus. Here are some key points about Ethernet:
It typically involves the use of twisted pair cables and operates on the data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet technology has evolved over the years, and various versions exist, such as 10BASE-T (the original standard with a maximum data transfer rate of 10 megabits per second over twisted pair cables), 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), and Gigabit Ethernet (which supports data rates of 1 gigabit per second). Ethernet is known for its reliability, simplicity, and widespread adoption in both residential and commercial environments.
