Ethernet is the established (and favored) communications standard for local area networks, originally designed to connect different computers to each other for sharing information and data. Ethernet technologies have gone through several phases of development and these have all been for the purposes of simplifying the connections between computers and users as well as increasing the size of the pipeline (through which information will flow) to establish maximum efficiency in resource allocation.
One of the major contributions of Ethernet development are the concepts of information 'packets' - bundles of information or instructions which are then streamed to every computer in the network - and traffic control systems - this mechanism ensures that information packets are sent to the correct recipients. There are also procedures in place to ensure that recipients can still receive the packets even if the computers are 'busy'.
