Study Notes
Ethernet Frame Length
- The maximum length of an Ethernet frame is 1518 bytes.
Binary Exponential Backoff
- Binary Exponential Backoff is a mechanism used in Ethernet networks to resolve network collisions.
Padding in Ethernet Frames
- Frame padding is used to ensure that the minimum frame size is met, which is 64 bytes.
- Padding with data ensures that the frame doesn't get too small and is transmitted smoothly.
MAC Address in Ethernet Frames
- The standard address size for a MAC address in Ethernet frames is 48 bits.
- MAC addresses are unique identifiers for network devices.
Termination of Binary Exponential Backoff
- Binary Exponential Backoff terminates when a collision-free transmission successfully completes, meaning the data is sent and received without errors.
- This signals that the network is free for other devices to transmit data.
