Ethernet is the most widely used LAN standard. It basically defines how devices in a local network communicate over cables, typically twisted pair or fiber optic. Ethernet uses packet switching to send data in frames and supports speeds from 10 Mbps up to several hundred Gbps in modern data centers. It also employs CSMA/CD which is Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection, to manage network traffic in half-duplex mode, though modern Ethernet generally operates in full duplex, eliminating collisions. Ethernet is reliable, scalable, and forms the backbone of most wired networks worldwide. Wi-Fi is a wireless LAN standard that allows devices to connect without physical cabling. It operates primarily in the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands (with newer standards range from 802.11b to the modern Wi-Fi 6. This offers gigabit speeds, lower latency, and better performance overall especially in crowded environment’s. Wi-Fi is crucial for mobility and convenience in both terms of homes and enterprises.
