Ethernet
IEEE Background
 Institution of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE)
 A professional non-profit organization
 Project group 802 under IEEE
 Entrusted with the task of setting standards relating
to physical and logical links of nodes in a network
 Standard mostly applies to the Physical and
Data Link layers
 Example
 IEEE 802.3 standard for the Ethernet bus network
IEEE 802 Focus
 OSI Reference
 Data Link layer
 Physical layer
 Areas of applications
 Network cards and cables
 WAN connectivity etc.
 Different subgroups under 802 that focus
on different activities of the LAN
IEEE 802 Subgroups and their
Responsibilities
 802.1
 Internetworking
 802.2
 Logical Link Control (LLC)

(MAC)
802 Layers - Physical

 Encoding/decoding
 Preamble generation/removal
 Bit transmission/reception
 Transmission medium and topology
Logical Link Control
 Flow control, Error control,& part of the framing
 Transmission of link level PDUs between two stations
 Must support multiaccess, shared medium
 Relieved of some link access details by MAC layer
 LLC defines PDU similar to HDLC
 Addressing involves specifying source and destination
LLC users
 Referred to as service access points (SAP)

 Typically higher level protocol


Three generations of Ethernet
802.3 MAC frame

Preamble: Provides an alert & a timing pulse


SFD: Signals the beginning of the frame,& also warns the stations that
this is the last the chance for synchronization. Last 2 bits alerts
the receiver that next field is the destination address
DA & SA : Physical address of receiver & sender
Length or type: Define the upper layer protocol using the MAC frame
IEEE use as length field to define the number of bytes
in the data field
Minimum and maximum length

If 18 bytes of header and trailer(6 SA + 6 DA + 2 Length + 4 CRC)


Then Minimum length of data from the upper layer is 64-18= 46 bytes
If the upper-layer packet is less than 46 bytes, padding is added to
make up the difference
Ethernet addresses in hexadecimal notation
Unicast and multicast addresses

Source address is always a unicast address


Destination address can be unicast, multicast ,or broadcast
LSB of the 1st byte defines the type of address
Broadcast DA is a special case of the multicast address in
which all bits are 1s
 Access method: standard ethernet uses 1-
persistent CSMA/CD
 SLOT TIME: round trip time + time
required to send the jam sequence
 Defined in bits,time required to send 512
bits
 Depends on the data rate
 For 10-Mbps ethernet it is 51.2 μs

Fast Ethernet physical layer
Goal of Fast Ethernet
 Upgrade the data rate to 100 Mbps
 Compatible with standard Ethernet
 Same 48-bit address
 Same frame format
 Same Min & Max frame lenths
MAC sublayer
 For full-duplex no need of CSMA/CD
 Autonegotiation
- Allows station or a hub a range of
capabilities
- Allow to negotiate the mode or data rate
of operation
