Why Ethernet?
O

Scalable Network
Inexpensive equipment
Automatic configuration

The Internet
Same standards, same protocols
Standards are called Request for Comments (RFC)
Cross-Platform Windows, Mac, Linux,

Easy migration to wireless

WiFi 802.11 is interoperable with Ethernet
O
O

Same standards, same protocols

Just replace the MAC/PHY layers

What is Ethernet?
O

Broadband networking technology

Standardized as IEEE 802.3

Many different speeds

10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps,

MAC address provides unique address for every node

Requires an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI)
Purchasable from IEEE
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml
$1,650 USD for 16 million addresses, $550 USD for 4,096
addresses

CAT5+ cable is the most prevalent in use today

Twisted Pairs
RJ-45 connector
Uses Star topology

Basic Networking
O

A network may consist of:

Computers
Printers
Network Infrastructure Equipment
O
Hubs
O
Switches
O
Routers
Embedded Devices, IP Phones....

Do all nodes on a network operate at the same speed using the

same cable type?
In most cases the same CAT5+ cable is used
WiFi is also popular
All of which can operate at various speeds

Is there a maximum Ethernet cable length?

Yes, any single Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m

Basic Networking Hubs

O

Older Equipment, superseded by the Switch

Generally 10 Mbps with some 10/100 Mbps

A hub is effectively an electrical repeater

Data comes in on one port and is sent out to all other ports
No traffic filtering or intelligence is applied to the data
transfer
This can result in slow traffic

Useful for development

Repeater function useful when monitoring network traffic

COM3100

Slide

68

Basic Networking Switches

O

Most commonly used piece of equipment

Can provide 10/100 Mbps with many 10/100/1000 Mbps

The switch intelligently filters traffic

Keeps a list of which nodes are connected to which port
Auto sense the speed of the end device
Store and forward mechanism buffers data on one port and then
forwards to another
Accepts data at 10Mbps on one port and transmits on another port
to the destination at 100/1000Mbps (and vice versa)

Helps reduce traffic on the network

For development, a switch with Port Mirroring capability is useful

Allows 1 port to be mirrored onto another port for monitoring/sniffing

Basic Networking Routers

O

Connects networks together

LAN Segment to LAN Segment

LAN to WAN

Creates 'Routing Tables' to intelligently route data to its destination

ADSL Routers or Residential Gateway converts IP over Ethernet to

IP over Cable or DSL

Makes all devices on Ethernet side look like one single device
Uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to translate addresses between
Internet and Local Network Addressing

Routers work at the IP address level

Basic Networking
Do I really need 100 Mbps?
O

In most cases, for embedded devices, 10 Mbps is more

than adequate
Data traffic is low
Connection speed is high

Modern switched network will automatically manage and

handle speed difference

There will be some cases where 100 Mbps IS required!

e.g. Streaming High Quality Video

Maximum ADSL/Cable link is usually less than 10Mbps
