Hi all,
runts and giants can also occur on a ethernet segment
due to a bad NIC card on router/hub/switch/PC/Server.
In such a case the NIC card may not be capable of
forming an Ethernet frame within the 64k-1518k range
of valid frame sizes.
Also watch out for Cisco's ISL protocol causing
"mini-giants" on switched trunk link. The 26 bytes of
ISL header can put the frame into the giant range
although since the ISL header is immediately stripped
off at the other end of the trunk link, this does not
usually cause actual problems in practice.
Regards,
Cormac
