Happy 50th birthday, Ethernet

Ethernet, developed by Xerox, was a revolutionary approach to local area networks that used a common bus network system. The initial Ethernet specification allowed for data transfer rates of up to 10 Mbps, and subsequent refinements in Ethernet technology have allowed for even faster data rates, such as 1 Terabit Ethernet (TBE). The Ethernet design was simple yet effective, with features like packet framing, collision detection, and full duplex transmission, making it a highly reliable and widely adopted networking technology.
