In a local area network (LAN) or intranet, there are many pieces of
hardare trying to gain access to the network transmission media at the
same time (i.e., phone lines, coax, wireless, etc.). However, a network
cable or wireless transmission frequency can physically only allow one
node to use it at a given time. Therefore, there must be some way to
regulate which node has control of the medium (a media access control,
or MAC, protocol). Ethernet is a MAC protocol; it is one way to regulate
physical access to network tranmission media. Ethernet networking is
used primarily by networks that are contained within a single physical
location. If you need to design, install, and manage a network in such
an envronment, i.e., home or small business office, then this book will
give you an in-depth understanding of the technology involved in an
Ethernet network. One of the major goals of this book is to demystify
the jargon of networks so that the reader gains a working familiarity
with common networking terminology and acronyms. In addition, this books
explains not only how to choose and configure network hardware but also
provides practical information about the types of network devices and
software needed to make it all work. Tips and direction on how to manage
an Ethernet network are also provided. This book therefore goes beyond
the hardware aspects of Ethernet to look at the entire network from
bottom to top, along with enough technical detail to enable the reader
to make intelligent choices about what types of transmission media are
used and the way in which the various parts of the network are
interconnected.

*Explains how the Ethernet works, with emphasis on current technologies
and emerging trends in gigabit and fast Ethernet, WiFi, routers, and
security issues
*Teaches how to design and select complementary components of Ethernet
networks with a focus on home and small business applications
*Discuses the various types of cables, software, and hardware involved
in constructing, connecting, operating and monitoring Ethernet networks
