Ethernet

More context

People are focused on practical Ethernet deployment and testing—especially running Ethernet in a home setup and verifying ports on UK media plates. At the same time, hardware/IT news highlights Ethernet’s role as an interconnect (e.g., UALink-over-Ethernet) and growing 10GbE/“Fast Ethernet” support in small computers and MCU development boards.
