   Ethernet
   A PC interface used to connect computers and peripherals in a Local Area Network (LAN). Huge amounts of data can be transmitted quickly over ethernet cables — up to 10,000,000 bits-per-second is possible. The latest Panasonic Hard Disk Recorders feature ethernet connectors so that they can be incorporated in a LAN.

    Ethernet
    (In topic `Network Architectures`) Ethernet, one of the most common types of network architectures, transmits only when the channel is quiet using a technique called CSMA/CD. Different types of Ethernet networking architectures are distinguished by the physical characteristics and the speed of of cabling.

    Ethernet
    Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standard data link protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium. Forms the underlying transport vehicle used by several upper-level protocols, including TCP/IP and XNS. See CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) for a description of Ethernet's media-access method.

    Ethernet
    The common name for a popular standard for the lower layers of a local area network. Higher layer protocols are also required in order to use Ethernet for data communication. Ethernet was the name used by the three originating organisations prior to standardisation as IEEE 802.3, then ISO/IEC 8802.3. Thick and thin Ethernet refers to the cable stan
