<div><p>Understand and use Ethernet frames, connections, and functions.</p>
<p>Many different factors influence the capabilities of Ethernet. Some of
these influences can come from the cabling and adapter type you use. Limiting
factors can be the capabilities of the hub or switch that you connect to,
the frame size you are able to transmit and receive, and the type of connection
you use.</p>
<p>For more detailed information and some explanations of the terminology
and technology available to you, see the following: </p>
