Ethernethindurani ubwoko bwahinduraitanga amakuru ashingiye kuri Ethernet, na Ethernet nuburyo bwo gusangira ibitangazamakuru byohereza bisi. Imiterere ya Ethernethindura: buri cyambu cya Ethernethinduraihujwe na nyiricyubahiro, kandi muri rusange muburyo bwuzuye. UwitekahinduraIrashobora kandi guhuza ibice bibiri byicyambu icyarimwe, kugirango buri jambo ryabashitsi bavugana hagati yabo rishobora kohereza amakuru nta makimbirane. Ethernethindurani na Porogaramu izwi cyane, kandi igiciro kirahendutse. Kubwibyo, porogaramu ikoreshwa ni nini cyane, kandi Ethernet yahinduwe irashobora kugaragara muri LAN nini nini nto. Ububiko bwa Ethernet busanzwe bufite ibyambu byinshi. Mubusanzwe, ni ikiraro cyicyambu kinini. Mubyongeyeho, igipimo cyacyo gishobora kuba gitandukanye, kandi uburyo bwakazi nabwo burashobora kuba butandukanye, nko gutanga umurongo wa 10M na 100M, gutanga igice-duplex, cyuzuye-duplex, hamwe nuburyo bwo guhuza n'imikorere. Ihame rya Ethernethindura: Ethernethindurani imashini kumurongo wamakuru. Ethernet ikoresha adresse yumubiri (aderesi ya MAC), bits 48, na 6 bytes. Ihame ryakazi ryayo nuko iyo ikadiri yo gutangaza yakiriwe, izayohereza ku byambu byose usibye icyambu cyakira. Iyo ikadiri ya unicast yakiriwe, reba aho igana kandi ijyanye nimbonerahamwe ya MAC. Niba hari aho ujya, uzoherezwa. Niba itabaho, izarengerwa (gutangaza). Nyuma yo gutambuka, niba nta gicumbi ufite aderesi ya MAC ni kimwe na MAC yerekanwe aho ikorera, izajugunywa. Niba hari uwakiriye adresse ya MAC ni imwe, izahita yongerwa kumeza ya adresse ya MAC.
