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 ...

In the last RTFM we saw how IP packets are transmitted across the network. Here, we tackle Ethernet and see how packets are encapsulated and used. To explain fully the way in which IP packets are used ...

Terms can sometimes play tricks on the mind. Take EtherNet/IP, for example. Many people will read “IP” as internet protocol and think that EtherNet/IP refers to plain old, standard industrial Ethernet ...

The technology started with 10-Mb/s coax cabling (10BASE5). Twisted-pair and RJ45 connectors quickly replaced that, while fiber optics was implemented for high-speed, long-distance communication.

Figure 1. A typical iSCSI SAN. There has been much discussion (and a good dose of confusion) about the term “iSCSI” over the last year. This relatively new protocol for storage technology offers many ...

This application note presents the protocol conversion between Ethernet and USB. The document also presents the operating environment, the sample program operation overview and the specifications of ...

Ethernet is ubiquitous. As long as it is the protocol of choice in IT, and the cost of even industrially hardened Ethernet switches and I/O are low, Ethernet will remain the communication protocol of ...

The new generation vehicle will provide connectivity and telematics services for enabling vehicle communication. The communication over IP in TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol /Internet Protocol), ...
