Explanation of Solution

Ethernet frame:

  • Ethernet link contains data unit that used to transport Ethernet frame as its payload. The size of the Ethernet frame consists of 1500 octets.
  • It is preceded with the preamble, start of frame delimiter, this both are part of the Ethernet packet on the physical layer.
  • Every Ethernet frame the first two fields contain the Ethernet header that contains source and destination MAC addresses.
  • The payload is in the middle section that include any header for other protocols carried in the frame.
  • Finally the frame close with the frame check sequence that contains 32 bit cyclic redundancy check.

IEEE 802.11:

  • IEEE 802.11 stands for wireless LAN that was ratified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering...

21. Explain IEEE 802.11 Frame structure in detail
Efficiency Principle:Ethernet V1 access protocol was designed to run at 10 Mbps over 2.5 Km using 1500 Byte packets. This same protocol needs to be used at 100 Mbps at the same efficiency (utilization). What distance can it cover if the frame size is not changed? (Note: be careful with the units.
Computer Science A 10-Mb/s Classic Ethernet transmits data packets obtained from the Network Layer. Assume for simplicity that the obtained data packets are directly placed into the MAC Ethernet frame, i.e. that no extra bytes are added in the LLC sub-layer.
