Ethernet and Serial technologies
Technology : It serves as a platform for the implementation of innovation. For communication in Networking, there are two main technologies to focus on: Ethernet and Serial Ethernet Technology : Long distance, very high Bandwidth, cheaper in cost. Standard: IEEE 802.3 (wired), IEEE 802.11 (wireless) Protocol of Ethernet technology: ARPA Serial Technology: very long distance, high Bandwidth, expensive. Ethernet variants: Ethernet: 10 Mbps Fast Ethernet: 100 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet: 1000 Mbps Ten Gigabit Ethernet: 10,000 Mbps and so on. Ethernet Mediums: Twisted Pair Thin wire Thick wire Range (meters) 100 180-200 500 BW (Mbps) Upto 1000 10 10 When using Cu wire as a medium, signals travel as EM waves and have ...
