Hi,
With regards to Ethernet's MTU size, I'd like to provide the fine-tuned
response, which
I have cut pasted from Cisco document:
The packet size, referred to as MTU is the greatest amount of data that can
be
transferred in one physical frame on the network. For Ethernet,
the MTU is 1518
1500 bytes is the Ethernet frame without the header and CRC. It's the
maximum amount of data the upper layer can stuff into an Ethernet frame.
It's the payload in the Ethernet frame.
When books refer to the Ethernet MTU as 1518 bytes, they are including the
following:
destination address = 6
Max Token Ring frame sizes are:
4 Mbps = 4,550 bytes
16 Mbps = 18,200 bytes
Here's what IEEE 802.5 says (which you can get for yourself at
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/):
Token Ring has a token holding timer and a Counter, Transmitted Octets
(CTO). The counter CTO is used by the
reposting as i got just one response
MTU for
Ethernet is 1500 bytes
SLIP is 576 bytes
Frame Relay ???
Token Ring ???
