MAC address
Layer 2 Framing
• Framing helps obtain essential
information that could not,
otherwise, be obtained with
coded bit streams alone.
Examples of such information
are:
– Which computers are
communicating with one another
– When communication between
individual computers begins and
when it terminates
– Provides a method for detection
of errors that occurred during the
communication
– Whose turn it is to "talk" in a
computer "conversation“
Generic Frame Format
• At the data link layer the frame structure is nearly identical for all
speeds of Ethernet from 10 Mbps to 10,000 Mbps.
• Ethernet requires that the frame be not less than 46 octets or more
than 1518 octets.

Ethernet Transmission Mode
• Full duplex :
– send and receive simultaneously
– no collisions occur.
• Half duplex:
– only send or receive at a specific moment
– transmit 64 bits of timing synchronization information that is known as
the preamble to make sure collision do not occur.
