Ethernet Network – A Brief History
Many people predicted that the ethernet network would die out, however as we begin 2012, it is an industry worth around £15 billion. Businesses that have invested in this are seeing the enormous benefits and cost efficiency it brings. Ethernet was traditionally seen as the standard local area network (LAN); however it has seen considerable growth in recent years. It is now widely accepted as being the best option for convergence layer technology. This is because it is able to provide the full array of unified communications including voice, video and data. Current growth areas of this technology can be found in the United States and Japan.
