An ethernet is a local area network that is now known as the industry standard. There are two main versions of ethernet with the first version transmitting data that is broken into packets and each one is transmitted
using the CSMA/CD algorithm until it arrives at the destination without colliding with any other packet. The second version specifies that collision detect of the transceiver must be activated during the inter-packet gap and that when transmission finishes, the differential transmit lines are
driven to 0V half step.
