The document summarizes the key aspects of Ethernet computer networks. It describes the original Ethernet standard using coaxial cable (thick Ethernet), as well as variations that use thinner coaxial cable (thin Ethernet) or twisted pair cable in a star topology (10BASE-T). It also mentions optical fiber Ethernet (10BASE-F). The key components are stations connected via a shared medium that listen first before transmitting to avoid collisions, using repeaters to connect segments, and implementing the physical and data link layers.

Session I THE ETHERNET The IEEE802.3 or CSMA /CD protocol is based on specification called Ethernet. Working Principle: The station willin to trans!it infor!ation listen the cable. If b"s#$ the Station wait "ntil it is idle. If idle$ the station will trans!it the infor!ation. If two or !ore stations si!"ltaneo"sl# start the trans!ission$ the sinals collide each other. So each station hears a collision !essae$ waits for a rando! period$ and repeats the trans!ission process aain. Cateories of Ethernet are 1. Thick Ethernet or 10base5 2.
