Noun

Ethernet (plural Ethernets)

1. (always in the singular) A set of network cabling and network access (CSMA/CD) protocol standards for bus topology computer networks invented by Xerox but now controlled by the 802.3 subcommittee of the IEEE.
2. (countable) A computer network which complies with such set of standards.
