Working of Ethernet at the Physical Layer
Ethernet was first implemented by a group called DIX (Digital, Intel, and Xerox). They created and implemented the first Ethernet LAN specification, which the IEEE used to create the IEEE 802.3 Committee. This was a 10Mbps network that ran on coax and then eventually twisted pair and fiber physical media. The IEEE extended the 802.3 Committee to [...]
Working of Ethernet Frames on Data Link Layer
The Data Link layer is responsible for combining bits into bytes and bytes into frames. Frames are used at the Data Link layer to encapsulate packets handed down from the Network layer for transmission on a type of media access. The function of Ethernet stations is to pass data frames between each other using a group of bits known as a MAC frame [...]
Working of Ethernet at the Data Link Layer and Ethernet Addressing
Ethernet at the Data Link layer is responsible for Ethernet addressing, commonly referred to as hardware addressing or MAC addressing. Ethernet is also responsible for framing packets received from the Network layer and preparing them for transmission on the local network through the Ethernet contention media access method. Ethernet [...]
