Is electronic media and social networks are being used appropriately and responsibly in today's society?
why is media used appropiately and responsibly
Does Ethernet use ring topology?
No, today virtually all networks use some variation of a star topology. It's far less subject to failure.
How would a repeater be used in an Ethernet segment?
Repeaters are usually used in coaxial based ethernet networks. For this purpose they are used to extend the length of a network segment. For example, in a 10base2 ethernet network the maximum length of a segment is 180 meters. A repeater could join two segments together to increase the length of the network and the number of clients in the network. In today's modern networks you will see neither coaxial networks nor repeaters in a LAN. Repeaters are used for DSL transmissions, but not for LANS.
Is Ethernet faster then ADSL?
Even a slow Ethernet network would be faster than ADSL, since 10baseT LAN networks run at 10 Mbps. An ADSL connection typically tops out at around 8 Mbps. However, if you are talking about throughput, then they might be very close, since Ethernet has problems with packet collision. Then again, most Ethernet networks today for LANs run at 100 Mbps, which would place it far faster than ADSL based on speed measurements. However, ADSL does not use the same transmission method as Ethernet, but Ethernet will still be faster than ADSL (especially if you consider the Gigabit speeds).
What type of LANs is the strongest competitive option to be used instead of Ethernet LANs today?
Today, Ethernet LAN has one competing LAN technology: WLANs.
What technologies use CAT3 cabling?
In the 1990s CAT3 was used in 10BASE-T Ethernet, token ring and ATM25 networks. It was also used in 100BASE-T4 Ethernet technologies which employed all 4 pairs to achieve greater bandwidth. CAT3 has been superseded and is seldom used today, but it still has uses in telephone wiring.
Is it true or false Ethernet is an found on many LANs?
True - Ethernet is the predominant protocol found in LANs today.
Ethernet networks are always connected using twisted-pair cable technology?
No, not at all. That's by far the most common today, but at one time it was much more common to run either "thinnet" or "thicknet", both of which used coaxial cables.
