Parent topics
- Ethernet [r]: An early proprietary standard for local area networks developed by IEEE Project 802; the term has become generic for various connectors and communications techniques although the name of a standard would be more precise. [e]
- IEEE Project 802 [r]: The main standards body, with many working groups, that specifies technical standards for wired and wireless local area networks, with ranges up to tens of kilometers [e]
- Data link protocol [r]: Protocol and administrative convention to manage the interaction of two or more devices connected to a common physical medium [e]
- Local area network [r]: A range of techniques for interconnecting multiple computers, over physical media such as wire or over wireless radio, within a limited geographic area, typically multiples of 100 meters. [e]
- Medium access control [r]: The set of protocols and administrative conventions that let multiple computers or communications devices share a common network medium, usually referring to a local area network medium, but also an area of radio communications on a given part of the electromagnetic spectrum [e]
- Network topology [r]: Defines the method in which a computer network is architected; topologies can be either physical (meaning how the actual hardware is interconnected) or logical (meaning how that network is implemented by protocols in software) [e]
Subtopics
- Fast Ethernet [r]: Formally specified as IEEE 802.3u; first speed improvement over the original Ethernet 10 Mbps speed developed by the IEEE 802.3 project, operating at a nominal 100 Mbps speed; now the default speed of most PC interfaces although Gigabit Ethernet is increasingly common; autonegotiation to 10/100 speed is very widespread [e]
- Gigabit Ethernet [r]: Generic term for IEEE 802.3 operation at a nominal data rate of 1 Gbps; includes IEEE 802.3z operating over optical fiber and IEEE 802.3ab over twisted pair [e]
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet [r]: Add brief definition or description
- 40 Gigabit Ethernet [r]: Add brief definition or description
- 100 Gigabit Ethernet [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet [r]: (RoCE, pronounced Rocky) high performance computing (HPC) architecture, which layers Infiniband on top of the physical and data link layers of IEEE 802.3, but replaces the TCP/IP end-to-end and routing protocols with their InfiniBand equivalents. [e]
- Infiniband [r]: Short-range, high-speed, low-latency computer interconnect architecture used both at the level of interconnection within boards and chassis, and in high performance computing clusters [e]
