Solution

The purpose of the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field in a frame is to determine if errors occurred in the transmission and reception. This is done by computing a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on the data field of the frame at the sender and then including the result in the FCS field. The receiver performs the same computation on the received data and compares the result with the value in the FCS field. If the values match, the frame is considered to be error-free. If they do not match, an error is assumed to have occurred during transmission.
