Ethernet is the method computers use to communicate with each other. An Ethernet controller is a small chip that handles all the data that can be exchanged between two computers via the Internet, a LAN, or WAN. The Internet cable, which plugs into the computer, transfers data to the Ethernet controller, which decodes the data and puts it into a form your computer can use. Ethernet controllers examine each packet of data to determine if it is meant for the local computer or another computer on the network.
