Ethernet Multiplexing

Ethernet multiplexing is a technique that allows multiple data streams or signals to share a single Ethernet connection efficiently. It manages how different data sources send information over one network cable or port, combining them into a unified stream, then separating them at the destination. This ensures that multiple devices or applications can transmit data simultaneously without interference, optimizing network use. Think of it like a multi-lane highway where cars from different entrances merge and then exit in an organized way, maintaining smooth traffic flow. This approach improves network capacity and enables various services to run concurrently on the same physical infrastructure.
