Ethernet

An Ethernet is a wired data network that connects /software. In most cases, the connection is established via a cable, which is why an Ethernet is also referred to as technology. The Ethernet enables end devices to exchange data with each other. End devices include, for example, printers, servers, computers, etc. These interconnected devices form a local network that sends data packets back and forth between the individual devices via the so-called Ethernet protocol. The protocol that is currently most commonly used is the .3. protocol. In earlier times, up to 3 megabits per second could be transmitted with the Ethernet protocol, whereas nowadays up to 1000 megabits per second are possible.
