Ether normally is connectionless and unreliable, so the frame would be dropped by the receiver if an error is detected. A higher layer protocol will have to request transmission from the source.
However, LLC type 2 service (used primarily for SNA) provides reliable, connection oriented service over ether. That's not particularly relevant, though in your scenario, but I always found it an interesting point. :-) Todd Carswell wrote: > > PCA-------B1-----------B2--------PCB Question 2: There's an ETHERNET connection between B1 and B2.
