Solution

An Ethernet frame consists of the following parts:

  1. Preamble: This is a 7-byte pattern used to alert the receiving system that a frame is coming and to synchronize the receiver's clock.

  2. Start of Frame: This is a 1-byte pattern that signals the start of the actual frame.

  3. Destination Address: This is a 6-byte field that specifies the recipient of the frame.

  4. Source Address: This is a 6-byte field that specifies the sender of the frame.

  5. Type: This is a 2-byte field that indicates the protocol of the payload (data).

  6. Data: This is the actual payload of the frame. Its size can vary, but it is typically between 46 and 1500 bytes.

  7. Frame Check Sequence (FCS): This is a 4-byte field used for error checking. It contains a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value that is calculated from the data in the frame. The receiving system can use this value to verify the integrity of the frame.
