Ethernet is a wired network technology that transmits data between local and wide area networks using protocols. It provides high-speed, secure data transmission. There are different types including Fast Ethernet for personal connections up to 100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet from 1000 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Ethernet operates in the physical and data link layers using MAC addresses and frames to transmit packets between sender and receiver systems while checking for errors. It has advantages like low cost and high security but disadvantages as unsuitable for long distances or real-time applications. Ethernet uses wired connections for shorter distance networks versus Internet's wireless global connections.

3. What Is Ethernet?

4. Introduction to Ethernet
Ethernet is a form of communication channel that uses wired technology in network model as LAN
(Local Area Network) or WAN (Wide Area Network), and provides the way to transmit data
between them through the application of protocols.

5. Why use Ethernet?

6. Why use Ethernet?
Ethernet is a popular network connection format to connect the systems through wired structure in
different networks.
Provides high-speed data
transmission in the
communication channel.
Ethernet data transmission
is secured in the
connection.
The reliability of the data
transferred is provided up
to maximum point.

7. Types of Ethernet

8. Types of Ethernet
Types of Ethernet
Fast Ethernet: This type of ethernet operate on twisted pair cable, with data transmission speed up to of 100
Mbps. Example, used for personal data connection.
Gigabit Ethernet: This ethernet type is an upgraded format of Fast ethernet, with data transmission speed
ranging from 1000 Mbps to 1Gbps.
Switched Ethernet: This ethernet type installs network devices such as switches or hubs, so as to improve the
network transmission. The transmission range for this type ranges from 1000Mbps to 10Gbps.

9. Working of Ethernet

10. Working of Ethernet
Ethernet operates primarily in the layer 1 (physical layer) & layer 2 (data link layer), of the OSI
Model, this operation of data in the layer is specifically is termed as the
IEEE 802.3 Standard.

11. Working of Ethernet
 In Ethernet the transmission of data can be done in form of: frame & packets.
 Frame – Refers to the size of the data to be transmitted.
Steps involved in working of Ethernet connection:
 First step involves acquiring the physical address, i.e., Media Access Control (MAC) address
of sender and the receiver system.
 Next step involves checking the data security, quality and connection speed of the network
for efficient transmission of data.
 Last step is to check network traffic and detecting errors during transmission of data and
apply appropriate protocols to solve such issues, such as CSMA protocol for detecting
packet collision.

13. Advantages & Disadvantages

14. Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
Cost of installation of
ethernet network is
relatively low.
Provides high security to
data in transmission.
Not applicable for real-time
applications, Eg: market value
checks.
Suitable only for short distance
network due hardware issue.

15. Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
Network Maintenance &
data quality check is done
over time.
High speed data
transmission is available in
ethernet.
Difficult to troubleshoot the issues
in cables.
Network Traffic increases the
transmission time for the data.

16. Ethernet vs Internet

17. Ethernet vs Internet
Ethernet Internet
Connection Medium
Ethernet uses wired method such
as, cables for establishing
network connection.
Internet applies wireless method
for data connection.

18. Ethernet vs Internet
Ethernet Internet
Network Model
Ethernet is available only for less
distance network connections as
LAN.
Internet is available over all the
network modes, as LAN, MAN and
WAN.

19. Ethernet vs Internet
Ethernet Internet
Network Control
Ethernet being less complex,
provides control over data
transmission much efficiently.
Internet is a large collection of
networks and so requires large
group of administrators for control.

20. Ethernet vs Internet
Ethernet Internet
Network Security & Reliability
Ethernet connections is secure
from external interference and
provides data security.
Internet is an open type connection
so it is more prone to hacking
attempts and less secure network.
