Linked from

The 22 pages that link to Ethernet, each with the reason it gives.

• Internet ProtocolRelated: Ethernet frames carry IP datagrams across many local network links.

• Fiber-optic communicationRelated: Ethernet standards use optical fiber for links requiring greater reach or bandwidth.

• Computer networkBroader topic: Ethernet specifies link-level communication on many wired local networks.

• Wi-FiCompared with: Ethernet often provides the wired connection behind a Wi-Fi access point.

• Local area networkRelated: Ethernet is the most common wired method for linking devices in a LAN.

• Digital communicationBroader topic: It specifies widely used methods for sending digital frames over wired links.

• Xerox PARCBroader topic: PARC created it to connect computers and shared resources.

• RouterRelated: Routers often receive and transmit packets inside Ethernet frames on local links.

• Twisted pairRelated: Twisted pair is the standard medium for many copper Ethernet links.

• Network interface controllerNarrower topic: Ethernet is the most common wired network technology served by NICs.

• Ethernet frameNarrower topic: Ethernet is the broader technology that defines this frame format.

• Maximum transmission unitRelated: Its common 1,500-byte MTU is a familiar baseline for network configuration.

• Network switchNarrower topic: Most familiar switches forward Ethernet traffic.

• Power over EthernetNarrower topic: PoE adds power delivery to links that otherwise carry Ethernet data.

• Xerox AltoRelated: The Alto could share files and communicate with other machines through PARC's Ethernet network.

• IPv4Related: IPv4 packets are commonly encapsulated inside Ethernet frames on local links.

• BaudRelated: Ethernet physical layers specify signaling rates that need not equal payload bit rates.

• Clock generatorRelated: Ethernet physical interfaces use precisely timed signals for encoding and data recovery.

• FireWireCompared with: Unlike FireWire, Ethernet is designed primarily for network communication between separate systems.

• Robert MetcalfeBroader topic: Metcalfe co-invented this technology at Xerox PARC.

• Transmission (data communications)Broader topic: It carries data between devices over wired network links.

• Wireless networkCompared with: Ethernet replaces radio links with cables, often providing predictable performance and physical access control.
