Ethernet is a LAN technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard. As the number of users on the shared media increases, so does the probability that a user is trying to transmit data at any given time. Typically, each generation of Ethernet offers a tenfold bandwidth improvement. Even so, the Ethernet cabling schemes, CSMA/CD operation, and all upper-layer protocol operations are maintained with each generation. The net result is the same data link Media Access Control (MAC) layer (OSI Layer 2) merged with a new physical layer (OSI Layer 1).
 This course is designed to help students to understand the architecture, operation and technical specifications of all Ethernet speeds including the basic concepts of OSI layer, CSMA/CD and full- duplex.
After completing this course, students will be familiar about the design, implementation and operation of Ethernet and its related technologies and standards.
