Q

This is the process of managing the rate of data transmission. Flow control defines how much information can be sent and the speed at which it can be delivered. For example, if one person speaks too quickly, it may be difficult for the receiver to hear and understand the message. In network communication, there are network protocols used by the source and destination devices to negotiate and manage the flow of information.

A

Collision Fragment or Runt Frame

48
Q

Frames with more than 1500 bytes of data are considered

A

Jumbo or Baby Giant Frames

49
Q

fields are used for synchronization between the sending and receiving devices. These first eight bytes of the frame are used to get the attention of the receiving nodes. Essentially, the first few bytes tell the receivers to get ready to receive a new frame.

A

Preamble and Start Frame Delimiter Fields

50
Q

This 6-byte field is the identifier for the intended recipient. As you will recall, this address is used by Layer 2 to assist devices in determining if a frame is addressed to them. The address in the frame is compared to the MAC address in the device. If there is a match, the device accepts the frame. Can be a unicast, multicast or broadcast address.

A

Destination MAC Address Field

51
Q

This 6-byte field identifies the originating NIC or interface of the frame. Can only be a unicast address.

A

Source MAC Address Field

52
Q

A

Type / Length

53
Q

This field (46 - 1500 bytes) contains the encapsulated data from a higher layer, which is a generic Layer 3 PDU, or more commonly, an IPv4 packet. All frames must be at least 64 bytes long. If a small packet is encapsulated, additional bits called a pad are used to increase the size of the frame to this minimum size.

A

Data Field

54
Q

is used to detect errors in a frame. It uses a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The sending device includes the results of a CRC in the FCS field of the frame. The receiving device receives the frame and generates a CRC to look for errors. If the calculations match, no error occurred. Calculations that do not match are an indication that the data has changed; therefore, the frame is dropped. A change in the data could be the result of a disruption of the electrical signals that represent the bits.

A

Frame Check Sequence Field

67
Q

5 – Redirect (use another route to the destination)
8 – Echo request (for ping)
11 – Time Exceeded (TTL became 0)
