What is the minimum size of an Ethernet frame that carries an IP packet which in turn carries an ICMP packet? What is the maximum size? The minimum size of an ...

Ethernet is a frame-based data communication technology that employs variable-sized frames to carry a data payload. This contrasts with long-haul Optical Transport Networks (OTN) that use fixed-sized ...

The IEEE task force weighing whether and how to expand the size of Ethernet frames met again last week and made a couple of key decisions. Earlier this year, the study group looking at the possibility ...

Ethernet and Sonet are on a crash course. With Ethernet continuing to push its way out of the enterprise into the access and metro sectors, developers of Sonet equipment are being pushed to map ...

Wired data connections will never be entirely replaced by wireless ones, but the Ethernet protocol still has some design constraints that limit the performance of certain data transfers. One way to ...

An IEEE task force is nearing completion of a standard to run Ethernet at a blistering 10 gigabits per second, which will mean an Ethernet that’s not only 10 times faster, but also more widespread ...

Blueprint topics covered in this chapter: This chapter covers the following subtopics from the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching written exam blueprint. Refer to the full blueprint in Table I-1 in the ...
