Ngophuhliso olukhawulezayo lweekhompyuter kunye nethekhnoloji yokunxibelelana kwabo (eyaziwa nangokuthi "iteknoloji yenethiwekhi"), i-Ethernet ibe yinethiwekhi yekhompyuter enemigangatho emibini enenqanaba eliphezulu lokungena ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Inxalenye ephambili ye-Ethernet yi-Ethernettshintsha.
Ukutshintshwa kwe-Manual kunye neprogram elawulwayo kusetyenziselwa ukuhambisa iimpawu zelizwi kwaye "ukutshintsha kwesekhethi" efuna imigca ekhethekileyo. I-Ethernet yinethiwekhi yekhompyuter efuna ukwabelana ngedatha, ke yamkela "ukutshintsha ipakethi." Nangona kunjalo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba yeyiphi indlela yokutshintsha eyamkelweyo, itshintshaiya kunika "ufikelelo olukhethekileyo" phakathi kwamanqaku amabini. Ngokubhekiselele kwizixhobo ze-Ethernet, umahluko obalulekileyo phakathi kwetshintshakwaye i-hub kukuba xa u-A ethumela umyalezo ku-B, ukuba udlula kwi-hub, zonke iindawo zenethiwekhi ezifikelela kwi-hub ziya kufumana umyalezo (oko kukuthi, uthunyelwa ngendlela yosasazo), kodwa ikhadi lenethiwekhi hluza ulwazi olungathunyelwanga kumatshini wendawo kwinqanaba le-hardware; Ukuba itshintshaiyasetyenziswa, ngaphandle kokuba u-A wazisa itshintshaukusasaza, umyalezo othunyelwe ku-B awusoze wamkelwe nguC (ngaphandle kokufumana itshintshaimvume yokulawula ukubeka iliso).
I-Ethernettshintshaabavelisi baye bazisa umaleko 3 okanye nokuba umaleko 4 utshintsho ngokwemfuno yemarike. Nangona kunjalo, umsebenzi wayo ophambili useyipakethi ye-Ethernet yokutshintsha umaleko wesibini, ekwazi ukuphatha umaleko we-IP kunye neepakethi zomaleko eziphezulu. Uthungelwanotshintshasisixhobo sokwandisa umsebenzi wothungelwano, ukunika izibuko zoqhagamshelo ngakumbi kwinethiwekhi engaphantsi ukudibanisa iikhompyuter ezininzi. Imarike yokutshintsha kwenethiwekhi ikhula ngokuthe ngcembe; ngophuhliso lweshishini lonxibelelwano kunye nokukhuthazwa kolwazi loqoqosho lwesizwe, imfuno yokutshintsha uthungelwano ikhula ngokuthe ngcembe. Inomlinganiselo wokusebenza weendleko eziphezulu kunye nokuguquguquka okuphezulu, okulula kwaye kulula ukuyisebenzisa.
Oku ngasentla yingcaciso yolwazi lwe-EthernetTshintshaziziswe nguShenzhen HDV Phoelectron Technology Co., Ltd., Ukuba unomdla wokufumana i-Ethernet yokuthengisa eshushuTshintsha, Nceda undwendwele ii-ethernettshintshaiphepha.
Iimveliso ezikhankanywe ngasentla zinokuxhasa ulungelelwaniso olwahlukeneyo lwenethiwekhi. Ishishini lethu lixhotyiswe liqela leshishini elikwaziyo ngakumbi kunye neqela lobuchwephesha ukubonelela ngeenkonzo ezikumgangatho ophezulu kubathengi bokuqala ukubonisana kunye nomsebenzi wokulandelela, kunye neqela elinobuchule nelinamandla le-R&D ukuxhasa abathengi ngokobuchwephesha.
