In the section Ethernet communication technology, in Chapter 2, Communication in Computer Networks, you were introduced to Ethernet history, Ethernet protocols, Ethernet framework, and Ethernet MAC addresses. As a continuation of the second chapter, in the following sections, you will get to know the concepts such as the Ethernet encapsulation frame, Ethernet frame fields, and Ethernet frame processing.
Ethernet's frame overview
Ethernet frame encapsulation
The data encapsulation in the OSI reference model (see Figure 3.20) will help you to understand Ethernet frame encapsulation. Note that while data flows from the upper layers to lower layers of the OSI reference model, header information is added. Thus, the Transport...
