Since the AV world has gone a little crazy over Ethernet and IP, I decided to try to learn more about each by using books and web sources. To my surprise, it seems as though there is not uniform ...

EtherCAT Technology Group announced that EtherCAT meets the European Union CRA requirements without modification.

What is the minimum size of an Ethernet frame that carries an IP packet which in turn carries an ICMP packet? What is the maximum size? The minimum size of an ...

Using Ethernet to move AV files is old news. What is news is using it to transport and switch real-time video streams in a broadcast, venue or post facility. Especially cutting edge is switching ...

The IEEE task force weighing whether and how to expand the size of Ethernet frames met again last week and made a couple of key decisions. Earlier this year, the study group looking at the possibility ...

Ethernet is a frame-based data communication technology that employs variable-sized frames to carry a data payload. This contrasts with long-haul Optical Transport Networks (OTN) that use fixed-sized ...

Ethernet and Sonet are on a crash course. With Ethernet continuing to push its way out of the enterprise into the access and metro sectors, developers of Sonet equipment are being pushed to map ...

Wired data connections will never be entirely replaced by wireless ones, but the Ethernet protocol still has some design constraints that limit the performance of certain data transfers. One way to ...

I have an xbox 360 attached to a switch here... it was previously on an HP 1810G that was simply telling me there were "errors" on the port. Now it's attached to a Cisco SG300-28, so I get actual port ...

Ethernet is a layer 2 data link protocol that is widely used with the TCP/IP protocol, which resides at layers 3 and 4. To understand network communications, it is essential to learn about the ...
