What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose of padding in an Ethernet frame?
ensuring that the data portion of the frame totals at least 46 bytes
What is the minimum and maximum size of an Ethernet frame?
The minimum size of an Ethernet frame is 64 bytes. Even if the VLAN tag is 4 bytes, the Ethernet frame with VLAN tagging remains 64 bytes.
Ethernet frame required minimum of 64 bytes why?
ethernet frame required minimum of 64 bytes expalin why?
What is added when extra filler data is needed in a packet?
In Computer networking, you have data that is transmitted through packets. In which is what we call an Ethernet frame. That Ethernet frame broken up into several pieces. They are:The PreambleRecipient's MACSender MACTypeData (Your information)Pad (FILLER)FCSThe reason why we have the "Pad" is because your standard minimum for an Ethernet frame size is 64 bytes. However, it doesn't all have to be your actual data. For example, if you were to send data that was not 64 bytes. Your NIC (Network Interface Card) will automatically add extra data which is what we can the "Pad" portion. This adds data so that we are back up to the minimum value of 64 bytes within an Ethernet frame.
What is the maximum number of bytes that is allowed in a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame?
Totally depends on the hardware and software and their MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). Usually MTU is set to 1500 bytes.
What is the size of an Ethernet frame carrying an APR packet?
An Ethernet frame typically has a maximum payload size of 1500 bytes, which includes the APR (Address Resolution Protocol) packet. The APR packet itself is relatively small, usually around 28 bytes, allowing the Ethernet frame to accommodate additional headers and trailers, such as the Ethernet header (14 bytes) and the Frame Check Sequence (4 bytes). Therefore, the total size of an Ethernet frame carrying an APR packet would be at least 64 bytes (minimum frame size) up to 1518 bytes (maximum frame size).
What are the minimum and maximum sizes for Ethernet frames?
It would be 46 and 64 bytes.
What is the largest data payload that packets on an Ethernet network can accept?
1500 Bytes
Sectors typically contain how many bytes?
512 bytes
Which part of an ethernet MAC address identifies the vendor of the NIC?
Bytes 1-3
An Ethernet MAC sublayer receives 42 bytes of data from the upper layer. How many bytes of padding must be added to the data?
The padding needs to make the size of the data section 46 bytes. If the data received from the upper layer is 42 bytes, we need 46 − 42 = 4 bytes of padding.
