A side-effect of such loss- the surrounding wired LAN links, creating a bottleneck based CC behaviour is that all traffic sharing the bottle- where traffic may be buffered and delayed.

This is particularly prob- Ethernet flow control we trialled four TCP variants over a lematic for real-time application flows (such as VoIP and HomePlug AV link using two Netgear XAVB2001 devices. We observed that the XAVB2001’s use of Ethernet flow online games) given the growth of arguably-gratuitous control effectively concatenates the buffers in both the buffering (“buffer bloat”) in network devices, interface XAVB2001 and the directly attached sending host.

  • Understanding Ethernet
    Chapter 1 Understanding Ethernet In This Chapter ▶ Exploring carrier sensing and collision detection methods ▶ Understanding directional traffic and simultaneous transmissions ▶ Examining Ethernet speed limits and wire-rated standards ▶ Exploring Gigabit Ethernet ▶ Distinguishing between local and backbone Ethernet ▶ Recognizing Ethernet interfaces ▶ Understanding Ethernet’s simplicity n today’s connected business world, ubiquitous access to Idigitized information and data is critical. Networking has not only reshaped the information landscape, but it has also vastly increased speeds at which information moves and is consumed. In fact, networking is the key to accessing the com- plex services and applications within which information plays a starring role. Although access to the Internet is essential, all networking begins at the local level. For modern networks, Ethernet is the standard infrastructure upon which local net- works rest. Ethernet comprises a family of frame-based protocols and tech- nologies designed to connect local area networks (LANs) — computersCOPYRIGHTED and devices situated in MATERIAL close proximity and able to communicate with one another. Ethernet draws its name from the fanciful Latin terminology luminiferous aether, which trans- lates to a light-bearing medium once thought to fill space and propagate magnetic waves. As such, Ethernet is a metaphorical reference for the physical transmission medium in the work- place (and at home) that propagates digitized information in electronic form. The term “Ethernet” was originally coined by 4 Carrier Ethernet For Dummies Bob Metcalfe while jointly developing basic Ethernet network computing with David Boggs at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Sensing a Carrier and Handling Collisions Two people on opposite ends of a phone conversation can sense carrier presence (either a dial-tone or a connected call) and handle collisions (overlapping conversations).
