- Ethernet (802.3) CSMA/CD - Carrier Sense Multiple Access
/ Collision Detection. Ethernet uses a bus, where each
device listens (Carrier Sense) to see if the bus is free.
Any device can access (Multiple Access). If more than one
device transmits at the same time there will be a collision
which also is monitored (Collision Detection) by each
device, where they will hold off until the bus is free
again.
- 10-Base-2 (10 megabits per second over 'Thin Wire'
coax 185m)
- 10-Base-5 (10 megabits per second over 'Thick Wire'
coax 500m)
- 10-Base-F (10 megabits per second over fibre)
- 10-Base-T (10 megabits per second over twisted pair
1,00m)
- 100-Base-T Fast Ethernet (100 megabits per second
over twisted pair CAT5)
- 1000-Base-T Gigabit Ethernet (1,000 megabits per
second over twisted pair CAT5e/CAT6)
- Token Ring (802.5) - The network is constructed in a
circle. A token is passed around the circle. A device can
catch the token and attach a message to continue on round
the ring.
- FDDI - Fiber Distributed Data Interface. A token ring
type network supporting rates upto 100 megabits per second
