Ethernet is the standard set by the IEEE organization. All companies that manufacture network devices and software follow these standards.
Using these devices we can create the following types of network:-
- Basic Ethernet
- Modern Ethernet
- Gigabit Ethernet
1. Basic Ethernet:
This the network that functions at the speed of 10 mbps
