Ethernet is a linear local area network developed by Xerox in 1976. Presently an industry standard, Ethernet operates on a bus topology and uses CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) to regulate traffic. Each device, or node, is connected by either thin or thick coaxial cable or twisted-pair wiring. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard, Ethernet operates at 10 megabits (10 million bits) or 100 megabits (100 million bits) per second.

A computer or other device that attaches to two or more dissimilar networks and passes data from one to another is known as a gateway. Data is routed from gateway to gateway until it can be delivered to its final destination directly across one physical network. Each gateway has two addresses—one for each network that it connects.
