    Summary

     A LAN is a network that is located in a limited area, with the


    computers and other components that are part of this network
    located relatively close together.
     Regardless of its size, several fundamental components are
    required for the operation of a LAN, including computers,
    interconnections, network devices, and protocols.
     LANs provide both communication and resource-sharing
    functions for their users.
     LANs can be configured in various sizes, to accommodate
    environments from SOHO to enterprise.

    Summary (Cont.)

     Ethernet was originally developed in the 1970s by DEC, Intel, and Xerox,
    and was called DIX Ethernet. When a workgroup of this body (referred to
    as IEEE 802.3) defined new standards for Ethernet in the mid-1980s to
    define Ethernet-like networks for public use, the standards were called
    Ethernet 802.3 and 802.2.
     Ethernet LAN standards specify cabling and signaling at both the physical
    and data link layers of the OSI model.
     Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time. Before
    sending data, CSMA/CD stations listen to the network to determine
    whether it is already in use. If it is in use, they wait. If the network is not in
    use, the stations transmit. A collision occurs when two stations listen for
    network traffic, hear none, and transmit simultaneously.

    Summary (Cont.)

     An Ethernet frame consists of fields, including preamble, start-of-


    frame delimiter, destination address, source address, type/length,
    data and pad, and frame check sequence.
     There are three major kinds of communications in networks:
    unicast, in which a frame is sent from one host addressed to one
    specific destination; broadcast, in which a frame is sent from one
    address to all other addresses; and multicast, in which a
    destination addresses a specific group of devices.
     The address used in an Ethernet LAN is the means by which data
    is directed to the proper receiving location.

    Summary (Cont.)

     The MAC sublayer handles physical addressing issues, and the


    physical address is a 48-bit number usually represented in
    hexadecimal format.
