INTRODUCTION
1.2. Types of Ethernet Networks
There are different implementations for Ethernet network, according
to the physical environment referred. The existing Ethernet
technologies differ in the following concepts:

Transmission speed: Transmission capacity of the environment in
Mbps.

Cable type: Used technology of the physical layer.

Maximum length: Maximum allowed distance between two
adjacent nodes (without repeaters).

Typology: It defines the performance of the central linking points.
