Ethernet |
Description:
Protocol suite: | Ethernet |
Type: | CSMA/CD Data Link and Physical Layer. |
The Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) set of protocols which serves the physical and data link layers. Ethernet utilizes a linear bus or star topology. Ethernet served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard.
The Ethernet deals with the low level - Physical and Data Link Layers.
The Data Link Layer is divided into two sublayers:
Ethernet uses CSMA/CD when transmitting packets. The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is an algorithm, for transmitting and receiving packets over a common network hardware medium, by aiding in avoiding transmission collisions. The network is checked for other transmissions; when the way is clear, the computer transmissions can begin. If a collision is detected the packet is retransmitted later.
Address resolution protocol (ARP) is a TCP/IP protocol used to map IP network addresses to a hardware interface physical addresses.
Reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) is a TCP/IP protocol used to map hardware interface physical addresses to IP network addresses.
Some of the listed RFCs for Ethernet implement the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Glossary:
Address Mapping.
(RFC 894, page 2) Mappings between 32-bit Internet addresses and 48-bit Ethernet addresses could be accomplished through the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) [RFC 826]. Internet addresses are assigned arbitrarily on some Internet network. Each host's implementation must know its own Internet address and respond to Ethernet Address Resolution packets appropriately. It should also use ARP to translate Internet addresses to Ethernet addresses when needed.
Managed Objects.
(RFC 2358, page 3) Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [Information processing systems - Open Systems Interconnection - Specification of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), International Organization for Standardization, International Standard 8824, December 1987.] defined in the SMI [RFC 1902]. In particular, each object object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the object type.
SNMP, Network Management Framework.
(RFC 2358 , pages 2 and 3) The SNMP Network Management Framework consists of several components. For the purpose of this specification, the applicable components of the Framework are the SMI and related documents [RFC 1902, RFC 1903, RFC 1904], which define the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.
