Why has Ethernet been so successful?
What will be an ideal response?
Ethernet has been so successful because it has evolved with the times to incorporate new
technologies. Its original speed of 3 Mbps evolved to 10 Mbps, and then to 100 Mbps and 1
Gbps, and now 10 Gbps. The cabling has also evolved from coaxial to unshielded twisted
pair to fiber-optic. Ethernet's success also can be attributed to its simplicity, ease of mainte
nance, reliability, low cost of installation and upgrading, and standardization by the IEEe. In
addition, the fact that the Ethernet frame has remained relatively unchanged over the years
has allowed applications to keep running over Ethernet even as it evolved.
