Question

Ethernet frames must be at least 64 bytes long to ensure that the transmitter is still going in the event of a collision at the far end of the cable. Fast ethernet has the same 64-byte minimum frame size but can get the bits out ten times faster. How is it possible to maintain the same minimum frame size?

Answer 1

Ethernet frames must be at least 64 bytes. Fast Ethernet has the same 64-byte minimum size but can transfer 10 times faster. How is ... The collision could happen during transmission.
