<strong>Ethernet</strong> 6<br />

• 1999: IEEE802.3ab; Gigabit <strong>Ethernet</strong> over twisted pair<br />

• 1999: IEEE802.3ac; 802.1Q: definition of the Q tag with VLAN and priority information.<br />

• 2003: IEEE802.3af; Power over <strong>Ethernet</strong><br />

• 2006: IEEE802.3an; 10GBase-T<br />

• 2006: IEEE802.3aq; 10GBase-LRM, <strong>Ethernet</strong> over multimode fiber<br />

<strong>Ethernet</strong> is only a specification of layers 1 and 2 in the OSI model. It is not a complete network<br />

pro<strong>to</strong>col but a subnet on which other pro<strong>to</strong>cols such as the TCP/IP suite can work.<br />

The most important functions of ETHERNET are:<br />

• Filling in of the physical layer<br />

– sending and receiving the serial bit streams over the medium.<br />

– detecting collisions.<br />

• Filling in of the data link layer<br />

– MAC sublayer:<br />

∗ access mechanism <strong>to</strong> the network (CSMA/CD).<br />

∗ building of the data frames.<br />

– LLC sublayer:<br />

∗ data reliability.<br />

∗ supply data channels for higher-level applications.<br />

2.2 The physical implementations<br />

The most important implementations over the years are:<br />

• Thick <strong>Ethernet</strong> (10Base5)<br />

• Thick <strong>Ethernet</strong> (10Base2)<br />

• Broadband <strong>Ethernet</strong> (10Broad36)<br />

• <strong>Ethernet</strong> over twisted pair (10Base-T)<br />

• <strong>Ethernet</strong> over Fiber (10Base-F)<br />

• Fast <strong>Ethernet</strong> (100Base-T / 100Base-F)<br />

• Gigabit <strong>Ethernet</strong> (1000Base-T)<br />

• Wireless <strong>Ethernet</strong>
