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]
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.

- Bandwidth [r]: In engineering, the length between two cut-off frequencies, as measured in hertz. [e]
- IEEE [r]: A non-profit of technology professionals active in publishing peer-reviewed journals and as a standards organization. [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 laboratory [r]: An example of a testing and learning facility for familiarization with Internet Protocol version 6 [e]
- Local versus remote assumption [r]: Add brief definition or description
- MIL-STD-1553 [r]: An extensively used interconnection standard among military electronics components, slow in comparison with local area networks but intended for simple command-response control in electrically noisy environments [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]
- National Security Agency [r]: An organization within the United States Department of Defense, with the dual roles of the principal signals intelligence agency in the United States intelligence community , but also having the responsibility for information assurance of military, diplomatic, and other critical communications. [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]
- TACLANE [r]: Add brief definition or description
- TSEC- [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Virtual private network [r]: The emulation of a private Wide Area Network (WAN) facility using IP facilities, including the public Internet or private IP backbones. [e]
