Briefly describe the difference between Ethernet technology and traditional Ethernet technology. thank you

Ethernet refers to the baseband LAN specification created by Xerox and jointly developed by Xerox, Intel and DEC. Ethernet adopts CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access and Collision Detection) technology and runs on various types of cables at the rate of 10 Mbps.

In the 1990s, switched Ethernet developed, and higher-speed Ethernet technologies such as 1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet,1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and 10000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet were introduced one after another. The frame format of Ethernet is especially suitable for transmitting IP packets. With the rapid development of Internet, Ethernet has been widely used. It is worth mentioning that if the access network also uses Ethernet, it will form an Ethernet structure from local area network, access network, metropolitan area network to wide area network. In this way, the Ethernet frame structure similar to IP packet structure is adopted, and the network is seamlessly connected without any format conversion, which can improve the operation efficiency, facilitate management and reduce the cost. This structure can provide end-to-end connection. Based on the above reasons, Ethernet access has developed rapidly and attracted more and more attention.
