Internet Technology :
Connecting Ethernet :
A very important LAN technology is Ethernet
.This technology was developed by Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs at Xerox PARC
. With Ethernet any computer on network can send data packers to any other
computer on the network . However ,no two computers can “talk on the line “ at
the same time there is a “collision” . Ethernet is a technology for handling
these collisions and retransmitting the packets . When a collision occurs the
packets are retransmitted after a very small random interval . Ethernet is a
very effective protocol and it is easy to connect a computer into the network .
