An Ethernet is a popular type of local-area network (LAN) that many offices use to link computers, printers, and servers. Initially developed by Xerox way back in 1976, Ethernet could transmit files and data at 10 Mbps. However, the newer Fast Ethernet works at a whopping 10 times the speed (100 Mbps). And right now a Gigabit Ethernet is on deck, supposedly supporting data transfer at a brain-bending 1,000 Mbps (or 1 Gbps). |
