Ethernet 802.3

Packet format that defines the data link layer of a packet for bus type networks that use

type networks are 10Base-T, 100Base-T (Fast Ethernet), and 1000Base-T (Gigabit
Ethernet) networks. The letter T at the end designates RJ-45 Category 5 cable.
Ethernet 802.3 is the standard that is used in most Ethernet cards and cables.
