Abstract

In Open System Interconnection (OSI) model there are seven layers. Each layer has its own protocol & perform its distinct function. The lowest layer in OSI model is physical layer. It defines the relationship between physical device & transmission media. It performs an important role in the sharing of available resources in communication. Protocol is the set of rules that governs the communication between devices in a network. One or more protocols are used in each layer. The most common protocol used in physical layer is Ethernet protocol. Ethernet protocol can be categorized in different forms. This paper explains different types of Ethernet protocol that are used in physical layer. Each type of Ethernet protocol has its own speed, cabling system, block coding & line coding scheme.
