How the Minimum Frame Length of 64 Bytes in Ethernet for TCP/IP Protocol is Determined
The TCP/IP protocol specifies that the minimum frame length for transmission is 64 bytes; any frame shorter than 64 bytes is considered invalid. So, how was this 64 bytes determined? This can be traced back to the CSMA/CD protocol. As is well known, early Ethernet operated on a shared bus, where multiple computers were connected … Read more
