5.Networking Technology

Networking Technology

Technology:- This is a platform on the basis of which products are manufactured.

EX:-Technology-->LCD and Product-->TV,Mobile etc. 

There are two types of networking technology,

1.Ethernet Technology

2.Serial Technology

1.Ethernet Technology

Ethernet technology means High Bandwidth | Low cost | Low coverage -> Preferred for LAN

          The term Ethernet refers to the family of local-area network (LAN) products covered by the IEEE 802.3 standard that defines what is commonly known as the CSMA/CD protocol. Devices are connected to the cable and compete for access using a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD ) protocol. Three data rates are currently defined for operation over optical fiber and twisted-pair cables:

• 10 Mbps—10Base-T Ethernet

• 100 Mbps—Fast Ethernet

• 1000 Mbps—Gigabit Ethernet

Ethernet technology standards:

* wired 802.3 (IEEE)

* wirless 802.11 (IEEE)

Protocol: ARPA (Host Name Server Protocol)

2.Serial Technology

Serial Technology means Low Bandwidth | high cost | High coverage -> Preferred for WAN
