THERNET
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel,
and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology,
and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration
into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and
implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable.
