The network interface
card provides the physical interface between computer and cabling. It
prepares data, sends data, and controls the flow of data. It can also
receive and translate data into bytes for the CPU to understand. NICs
come in many shapes and sizes.
Different NICs are
distinguished by the PC bus type and the network for which they are
used. The following factors must be taken into account while choosing
a NIC:
- Preparing data
- Sending and controlling data
- Configuration
- Drivers
- Compatibility
- Performance
Each card must have a
unique hardware address, called a MAC address. If two cards on the
same network have the same hardware address, neither one will be able
to communicate. For this reason, the IEEE has established a standard
for hardware addresses and assigns blocks of these addresses to NIC
manufacturers, which then hard-wire the addresses into the cards.
To know more about other
type of network hardware you should join a course in hardware and
networking. A CompTIA A+ certification will help you to know about
hardware in-depth and work in the IT hardware field. SLA IT
