shared media LAN

A local area network (LAN) that shares its total available bandwidth with all transmitting stations. Ethernet is the primary example, although Token Ring and FDDI networks were earlier examples. In the past, when shared media LANs ran out of capacity to serve their users effectively, they were upgraded by replacing the network hubs with switches. See hub vs. switch, LAN switch and Ethernet switch.
