Ethernet: Network Fundamentals - Chapter 9

This document discusses Ethernet networking fundamentals. It describes the physical and data link characteristics of Ethernet, including its use of cabling and switches. The document examines Ethernet's media access control method using carrier sense multiple access with collision detection. It also explores Layer 2 addressing using MAC addresses and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) process for mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses. The importance of switches for eliminating collisions on Ethernet networks is also covered.
