Foil 8 Ethernet - 10 Mbps (2)

From Introduction to Local Area Networks LANs Lectures at Xi'an Jaotong University -- Sept 1998. by Roman Markowski
Differences between Ethernet and IEEE 802.3
  • Ethernet defines services corresponding to Layer 1 and 2 of the OSI RM; defines one physical layer (thick coax)
  • IEEE 802.3 specifies physical layer (Layer 1) and channel access portion of the link layer (Layer 2); defines a few physical layers: 10base5, 10base2, 10baseT, 10baseFL
  • Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 frame formats
IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer (i.e. 10base5)
  • 10 : LAN speed in Mbps
  • base : baseband, signaling method
  • 5 : physical media type
