Question 1

What is the purpose of the Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) in an Ethernet frame?

  • To mark the end of the Ethernet frame
  • To signal the start of the frame
  • To indicate the length of the frame

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens after synchronization is achieved.

Question 2

True or False: The FCS is primarily used to determine the destination of the Ethernet frame.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the role of FCS versus MAC addresses.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a given Ethernet frame in hexadecimal format and identify each component. Explain how you would verify the integrity of the data using the FCS.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break down the hexadecimal frame carefully and relate each segment to its purpose.

Question 2

Design a mini-communication simulation using Ethernet frames to exchange messages between two devices. Define the frame structure and necessary components.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of what each section of the frame needs to accomplish in your simulation step.
