|An adaptation of (originally wireless) [[ALOHAnet]] for use at [[PARC (company)|Xerox PARC]]. "Ether Network" was subsequently abbreviated as "Ethernet".

|Ethernet II<br />(DIX v2.0)
|{{nowrap|Ethernet (I)/DIX}}
|1980
|Developed at [[3com]] by former Xerox PARC employees, and promoted by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel, and Xerox (hence "DIX") as an alternative to IBM's proprietary [[Token Ring]]/[[Token Bus]] system. The {{nowrap|10 Mbit/s}} specification prescribed a type of [[coax cable|coax cabling]] (initially called "Ethernet cable" and now named '[[10BASE5]]'), globally administered 48-bit destination and source addresses, and a globally administered 16-bit [[EtherType]]. Ethernet/DIX was initially used in conjunction with the [[Xerox Network Systems|XNS protocol]].
|-
|{{nowrap|Ethernet II/DIX 2}}
|1982
|1982
|Essentially the same as "Ethernet I", but adjusted for [[10BASE2]] ("CheaperNet") coax cable. DIX framing was ratified 15 years later as part of [[IEEE 802.3x|802.3x-1997]]. [[Internet Protocol|IP]] and [[Address Resolution Protocol|ARP]] were designed for DIX framing.
|10&nbsp;Mbit/s (1.25&nbsp;[[megabyte|MB]]/s) over thick coax. Frames have a Type field. This frame format is used on all forms of Ethernet by protocols in the [[Internet protocol suite]].

|First edition of the 802.3 standard. Based on {{nowrap|DIX Ethernet}} (above), but with different framing in which the EtherType field is replaced with a Length field and an [[IEEE 802.2|802.2]] LLC header (which includes a network layer type field). The original 802.3-1983 standard prescribed [[10BASE5]] (thick coax), and the use of [[carrier sense multiple access with collision detection]] (CSMA/CD).

IEEE 802.3 is a working group and a collection of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards produced by the working group defining the physical layer and data link layer's media access control (MAC) of wired Ethernet. This is generally a local area network (LAN) technology with some wide area network (WAN) applications. Physical connections are made between nodes and/or infrastructure devices (hubs, switches, routers) by various types of copper or fiber cable.

802.3 is a technology that supports the IEEE 802.1 network architecture.

802.3 also defines LAN access method using CSMA/CD.

Predecessor technologies

Name Date Description
"Ether Network" 1973 An adaptation of (originally wireless) ALOHAnet for use at Xerox PARC. "Ether Network" was subsequently abbreviated as "Ethernet".
Ethernet (I)/DIX 1980 Developed at 3com by former Xerox PARC employees, and promoted by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel, and Xerox (hence "DIX") as an alternative to IBM's proprietary Token Ring/Token Bus system. The 10 Mbit/s specification prescribed a type of coax cabling (initially called "Ethernet cable" and now named '10BASE5'), globally administered 48-bit destination and source addresses, and a globally administered 16-bit EtherType. Ethernet/DIX was initially used in conjunction with the XNS protocol.
Ethernet II/DIX 2 1982 Essentially the same as "Ethernet I", but adjusted for 10BASE2 ("CheaperNet") coax cable. DIX framing was ratified 15 years later as part of 802.3x-1997. IP and ARP were designed for DIX framing.

IEEE standards

IEEE documents Date Description
802.3-1983 1983 First edition of the 802.3 standard. Based on DIX Ethernet (above), but with different framing in which the EtherType field is replaced with a Length field and an 802.2 LLC header (which includes a network layer type field). The original 802.3-1983 standard prescribed 10BASE5 (thick coax), and the use of carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD).
