Term:
Ethernet  

Definition:

An industry-standard network hardware specification (IEEE 802.3) developed by IEEE that offers dedicated network (and Internet) access. Standard Ethernet is half-duplex transmission system. That is, data frames are sent in only one direction at a time. This means Ethernet is typically only 50-60% efficient on a 10 MBPS megabit per second link which is only 5 megabits per second throughput or even less due to collisions.
