Ethernet routines enable communication over an Ethernet-based IP network.
Ethernet is a family of networking technologies for local area (LAN) and wider networks. It was introduced and standardized in the 1980's as IEEE 802.3, and has since been updated regularly to support higher bit rates and longer link distances. Most embedded microcontrollers with Ethernet support bit rates of up to 100 Mbit/s which is also fully supported by the Network Component.
This documentation is separated as follows:
The Network Component is prepared to support multiple Ethernet interfaces and several functions have a parameter if_num to indicate the interface number. Currently only one Ethernet interface is supported and therefore if_num is always set to 0.
