IEEE 802.
3 standard (Ethernet)
Fields in Ethernet Frame Format –
Preamble :- It contains 7 bytes of alternating 0s and 1s that alert the
receiving system to the coming frame and enable it to synchronize its input timing. Start frame delimiter :- This field tells the receiver that everything that follows is data, starting with the addresses. Destination address :- This field is allotted six bytes and contains the physical address of the packet’s next destination. Source address :- This field is allotted six bytes and contains the physical address of the last device to forward the packet. Length/type of PDU :- This field is allotted 2 bytes, indicates the number of bytes in the coming PDU. 802.2 frame (PDU) :- This field contains the entire 802.2 frame as a modular, removable unit. CRC :- This field contains error detection information.
