Ethernet LAN's
Ethernet LAN's are a cost-effective way to improve the performance of a network. At first, LAN’s were added by a user as needed in an unstructured fashion. An adapter that can only transmit, or receive, one at a time, is called half-duplex. All users vie for the same bandwidth. Others stations must wait while another station is transmitting. This cause delay and communication limitations. LAN switches help to eleviate this problem by allowing for simultaneous communication between ports. Switches are different than routers because they function more simply, have a higher aggregate bandwidth, and the latency is much lower. Switches can connect shared segments or dedicated segments to any port on a switch.
