Baseband
what type of access control is used in Ethernet
contention based- CSMA/CD
what is the format of an
Ethernet frame

describe an
Ethernet frame preamble
- 8 bytes of alternating 1s & 0s
- used for clock synchronization
- part of the CSMA/CD protocol to identify collisions early
describe an
Ethernet frame SFD
- 2 consecutive 1s at the end
- used for clock synchronization

SFD =
Start of Frame Delimeter

what is the size of an
802.3 payload
46-1500 bytes
max- 1518
MTU =
Maximum Transmission Unit
describe
ethertypes
- two-octet field in an Ethernet frame
- used to indicate which protocol is encapsulated in the payload of the frame
- used at the receiving end by the data link layer to determine how the payload is processed
- also used to indicate the size of some Ethernet frames
examples of
Ethertypes
