  • A method of networking computers and devices.
  • Ethernet is a data transfer protocol for local area networks developed at Xerox Corporation’s Palo Alto Research Center. Ethernet is standardized as IEEE 802.3.
  • One of Chris's weird ass stories that he told us like ten times throughout the years because he kept forgetting he'd already told us. Basically his reasoning behind the name "Ethernet" is that back in the day everyone was a hippy, and they all loved the aether, and were like, dude, the ether, we should totally like, call it ethernet, because you pluck information out of the air, or some shit.
  • Ethernet ist eine Kabelnetztechnologie für lokale Datennetze (LANs). Sie ermöglicht den Datenaustausch zwischen allen Benutzern in einem lokalen Netz (LAN) und angeschlossenen Geräten (Computer, Drucker, etc.). Damals erstreckte es sich über Gebäude, heutzutage über noch weitere Entfernungen.
  • Ethernet is the most commonly used protocol for making friends and networking around the local area. Before its arrival, most local community networking was merely a token effort. Although it has been claimed that previous methods were more reliable, disaster often struck when either someone dropped the token behind the sofa, when the guy giving out the tokens ran off with their brothers wife. Also a lot of people complained that they had to wait ages to have their say, even though it was obvious that everyone else was eating dinner.
  • Ethernet is a family of frame-based computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). The name came from the physical concept of the ether. It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the Physical Layer of the OSI networking model as well as a common addressing format and Media Access Control at the Data Link Layer.

  • Ethernet is a family of frame-based computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). The name came from the physical concept of the ether. It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the Physical Layer of the OSI networking model as well as a common addressing format and Media Access Control at the Data Link Layer. Ethernet is standardized as IEEE 802.3. The combination of the twisted pair versions of Ethernet for connecting end systems to the network, along with the fiber optic versions for site backbones, is the most widespread wired LAN technology. It has been used from around 1980 to the present, largely replacing competing LAN standards such as token ring, FDDI, and ARCNET.

Also a lot of people complained that they had to wait ages to have their say, even though it was obvious that everyone else was eating dinner. The protocol was the result of famed Network engineer Hunter S. Thompson consuming large amounts of LSD while several highly skilled monkeys were typing a copy of 'Fear and Loathing in The Microsoft Headquarters'. A fact Robert Metcalfe of Xerox PARC has always felt particularly miffed about.
