    An Ethernet port on a laptop computer connected to a twisted pair cable with an 8P8C modular connector Symbol used by Apple and Google on some devices to denote an Ethernet connection Ethernet ( / ˈ iː θ ər n ɛ t / EE -thər-net ) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan ...

  3. 5-4-3 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-4-3_rule

    According to the original Ethernet protocol, a signal sent out over the collision domain must reach every part of the network within a specified length of time. The 5-4-3 rule ensures this. Each segment and repeater that a signal goes through adds a small amount of time to the process, so the rule is designed to minimize transmission times of ...

  9. Interpacket gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpacket_gap

    Ethernet devices must allow a minimum idle period between transmission of Ethernet packets. [1] A brief recovery time between packets allows devices to prepare for reception of the next packet. While some physical layer variants literally transmit nothing during the idle period, most modern ones continue to transmit an idle pattern signal.
