shared Ethernet
Last modified: Thursday, November 21, 2002 

The traditional type of Ethernet, in which all hosts are connected to the same bus and compete with one another for bandwidth. In contrast, a switched Ethernet has one or more direct, point-to-point connections between hosts or segments. Devices connected to the Ethernet with a switch do not compete with each other and therefore have dedicated bandwidth.

Also see the Ethernet Designations chart in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.
