| Unknown |
The interface type is not known.
|
| Ethernet |
The network interface uses an Ethernet connection.
Ethernet is defined in IEEE standard 802.3.
|
| TokenRing |
The network interface uses a Token-Ring connection.
Token-Ring is defined in IEEE standard 802.5.
|
| Fddi |
The network interface uses a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) connection.
FDDI is a set of standards for data transmission on fiber optic lines in a local area network.
|
| Ppp |
The network interface uses a Point-To-Point protocol (PPP) connection.
PPP is a protocol for data transmission using a serial device.
|
| Loopback |
The network interface is a loopback adapter.
Such interfaces are used primarily for testing; no traffic is sent.
|
