Definitions of Ethernet:

A local-area network (LAN) protocol developed by Xerox Corporation in cooperation with DEC and Intel in 1976. It is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards.

A very common method of networking computers in a LAN. There is more than one type of Ethernet. By 2001 the standard type was "100-BaseT" which can handle up to about 100,000,000 bits-per-second and can be used with almost any kind of computer.

is Xerox's standard networking protocol used in local area networks, often connecting dissimilar devices.

A computer network cabling system designed by Xerox in the late 1970s. Originally transmission rates were 3 Megabits per second (Mb/s) over thick coaxial cable. Media today include fiber, twisted-pair (copper), and several coaxial cable types. Rates are upto 10 Gigabits per second or 10,000 Mb/s.

One of the most common local area network (LAN) wiring schemes, Ethernet has a transmission rate of 10 megabits per second; a newer standard called Fast Ethernet will carry 100 megabits per second.

A very common method of networking computers in a LAN. Ethernet will handle about 10,000,000 bits per second and can be used with almost any kind of computer.
ianrpubs.unl.edu/consumered/nf457.htm
A network protocol defining a specific implementation of the Physical and Data Link Layers in the OSI model (IEEE 802.3). Ethernet is a local area network, using a bus topology, that provides reliable high-speed communications (maximum of 10 million bits per second) in a limited geographic area (eg, office complex, university complex).

Ethernet is the most widely-installed local area network technology. Now specified in a standard, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox and then developed further by Xerox, DEC, and Intel. An Ethernet LAN typically uses coaxial cable or special grades of twisted pair wires. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are called 10BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps. ...

A local area network allowing several computers to transfer data over a communications cable.
www.crucial.com/library/glossary.asp
A local area network used to connect computers, printers, workstations, and other devices within the same building. Ethernet operates over twisted wire and coaxial cable.
www.comptia.org/sections/ssg/glossary.aspx
A widespread standard for local area networks. There are versions for coaxial cable, twisted pair cable, fiber optic cable and wireless.
www.micro2000uk.co.uk/network_glossary.htm
A network protocol invented by Xerox Corporation and developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD and run over a variety of cable types at 10 Mbps (megabits per second).
help.fcs.uga.edu/faq/cache/57.html
One of the earliest and least expensive network types. Ethernet is capable of speeds of 10Mb/s, and employs Bus and Star network types. When attempting to transmit over an Ethernet network, the transmitting workstation must "listen" to the network line to ensure that it is clear (another workstation is not currently transmitting). If the line is not clear, the workstation must wait until the line clears.
www.high-density.com/glossary/glossary-e.htm
A LAN protocol developed by DEC, Intel, and Xerox as an outgrowth of Harvard graduate student Bob Metcalfe's dissertation on packet networks. Computers using TCP/IP often connect to the Internet via ethernet LANs. Ethernet typically uses a bus (daisy chain) topology.
www.wirelesstelcorp.com/glossary_of_terms.htm
This is a method of file transfer that uses dedicated cables rather than dial up phone lines. Ethernets are usually set up attaching end users to a central system like an Intranet. It was invented by Xerox believe it or not.
www.zoltech.net/toolz/glossary.html
A type of network cabling allowing theoretical data transfers of up to 100Mb per second.
www.legend.co.uk/resources/gloss.html
A proprietary contention bus network developed by Xerox, Digital Equipment Corporation and Intel. It formed the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard.
www.spacecom.com/about_spacecom/html/body_sat_terms.htm
A network access method developed by Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel, and Xerox in the early 1970s, Ethernet is the most widely used local-area network technology available today. This standard is capable of linking up to 1024 nodes.
www.rockprint.com/dictionary.shtml
The most widely used local area networking (LAN) technology, also referred to as 10/100 Ethernet. Ethernet transmits information between computers at speeds of 10 and 100 million bits per second (Mbps).

a type of local area network (LAN), used when distances are not great, that has become a standard for almost any computer system
www.its.ex.ac.uk/glossary.shtml
A popular local area network design, the product of Xerox Corp., characterized by 10 Mbps baseband transmission over a shielded coaxial cable and employing CSMA/CD as the access control mechanism; standardized by the IEEE as specification IEEE 802.3; referring to the Ethernet design or as a compatible with Ethernet.
www.constellationnetcorp.com/definitions.htm
a type of networking technology for local area networks; coaxial cable carries radio frequency signals between computers at a rate of 10 megabits per second

Ethernet (this name comes from the physical concept of ether) is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEEs 802.3. ...
