COMPUTER NETWORKING

Detailed explanation-1: -Ethernet is the traditional technology for connecting devices in a wired local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). It enables devices to communicate with each other via a protocol, which is a set of rules or common network language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ethernet uses an access method called CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection). This is a system where every computer listens to the cable before transmitting anything throughout the network.

Detailed explanation-3: -A WiFi connection transmits data via wireless signals, while an Ethernet connection transmits data over cable.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ethernet (/ˈiːərnɛt/) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3.
