Business Ethernet Network Pricing
Advantages
One major advantage for a business Ethernet network is pricing – which offers perhaps the lowest pricing for setting up a LAN connection.
One of the reasons why it is this inexpensive is because it is simple to install.
The diversity of topology – can work with star and bus topology.
Simple installation – the Ethernet installation can be done with a simple coaxial cable and T-adapters.
It does not require a plethora of devices to do its job when installed.
Reliable – if the Ethernet network is using a coaxial or coaxed cable, then it is almost immune to the noise produced by other electrical devices outside the system.
Versatile – can be used in an office and home.
Disadvantages
Challenging to change – Ethernet networks do not lend themselves too easily to being reconfigured and altered, even to correct a fault.
When and if the system must change, it will involve breaking the network's topology and then building in a new section, and this is a time-consuming process that will see the system going through some downtime.
Delay if there is too much traffic – the Ethernet could get bogged down if too much traffic is coming through all at once.
Also, if there is a failure to any of the components of Ethernet – such as hubs - then the chances are that it will bring the entire network down.
The network administrator must then identify and correct this fault through a process of elimination, which is potentially time-consuming.
It could be better with voice signals. Ethernet is not the ideal technology for dealing with voice signals.
Fiber optic Ethernet is an option or alternative to traditional metal wire systems, but this may have the disadvantage of high costs and complex installations.
Computing Networking Technology and Ethernet
Computer networking technology has changed the way the world communicates.
Conducting business and various other transactions and setting up communications links to almost any corner of the world has become so comfortable with the advent and advancements of networking technology.
A computer network is a collection of hardware like computers integrated into one entity using communication channels.
Many types of systems are classified according to the scope of the organization, the scale, and the communications protocol they use.
Communications protocols define the various rules governing information exchange within a computer network.
Ethernet Networking Technology
One of the types of computer networking technology is Ethernet.
This networking standard is a physical and data link layer technology.
This technology was introduced in 1980, after which it was standardized in 1985. Robert Metcalfe is the pioneer and driving force behind the development of the Ethernet.
Ethernet technology is also used to connect appliances in industries and sectors like telecommunications.
Ethernet standards have also become almost all-pervasive, and when people talk about networks, LANs, local area networks, and so on, Ethernet provides connectivity.
Ethernet Standardization
1980 saw the commencement of standardization of Ethernet under the aegis of IEEE or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The project was dubbed Project 802 and worked towards standardizing local area networks.
Ethernet attained international standard approval with integration between the International Organization for Standardization or ISO and IEEE.
The technology has seen constant evolution and today can deliver better connectivity, more bandwith, and enhanced media access control.
Hardware manufacturers also include Ethernet in their machines, thus eliminating the need for an additional network card.
Though this hardware has changed how the world communicates and connects, it also brings advantages and disadvantages.
