The Ethernet Physical Layer as Used in Resilient Packet Ring Systems

Overview Under the auspices of the IEEE 802.3 Working Group, Ethernet has developed into one of the most widely deployed networking technologies in the world. Ethernet's unrelenting advances have allowed it to become the dominant technology for Enterprise networking. Data rates have increased from 10Mbps to Gigabit speeds. Links have gone from half to full duplex. Link aggregation and flow control have added functionality to the standard. Other groups within IEEE 802 have also contributed significantly to the development of Ethernet. MAC Bridging (IEEE 802.1D), Virtual LAN technology (IEEE 802.1Q) and Class of Service definitions (IEEE 802.1p) have all been instrumental in the continued dominance of Ethernet in Local Area Networks.
