How did the Ethernet standard evolve to be able to support latency sensitive applications like streaming media?
Solution
The first Ethernet standard was defined as IEEE802.3 which uses 10BASE-T, coax cables, and half duplex with
CSMA/CD as technology components. At that time, network topologies defined by it are bus and star. After that
IEEE802.3u was set, which uses 100BASETX or 100BASE-FX with full duplex followed by 1Gbps cables such as
IEEE802.3ab for twisted pair cables and IEEE802.3z for optical fiber cables.
