Document Summary

Module 5: ethernet switched lans: explain the key differences between local area networks (lans) and wide area networks (wans). Ethernet has evolved: physical bus shared access --> physical star shared access --> physical star switched access, from shared bandwidth to dedicated bandwidth and from fast to -> wicked fast to - > stupid fast: 10,000,000 bps--> 100,000,000,000 bps, metcalf helped with ethernet, explain what is meant by the following statement: ieee ieee 802. 3 defines a single ethernet mac standard and multiple ethernet phy standards. Ieee 802 standards: typically ip (internet layer, allows for operability, packet formats: defines the contents and organization of ethernet frames, explain the difference between digital and binary signaling. Define clock-cycle and describe the relationship between the length of a clock-cycle and the speed of a network. If there is more than one pair carrying the transmission bits, this is called parallel.
