Ethernet is a family of wired computer networking technologies used in LANs, MANs and WANs. It was first standardized in 1983 and has since been refined to support higher bit rates, more nodes and longer link distances. It has largely replaced competing wired LAN technologies such as Token Ring, FDDI and ARCNET. Ethernet data transfer rates have increased from 2.94 Mbit/s to 400 Gbit/s. It is widely used in homes and industry and is one of the key technologies that make up the Internet.
