4.5. Summary

In this chapter, you learned the fundamentals of Ethernet networking, how hosts communicate on a network, as well as how CSMA/CD works in an Ethernet half-duplex network.

I also talked about the differences between half- and full-duplex modes and discussed how Ethernet channel bonding can be used to attach multiple connections between Ethernet devices.

I finished the chapter with a description of the common Ethernet cable types used in today's networks. And by the way, you'd be wise to study that section really well!
