What is the minimum size of an Ethernet frame that carries an IP packet which in turn carries an ICMP packet? What is the maximum size? The minimum size of an ...

In the last RTFM we saw how IP packets are transmitted across the network. Here, we tackle Ethernet and see how packets are encapsulated and used. To explain fully the way in which IP packets are used ...

Ethernet has become the primary network protocol of choice for the required server-to-server communication in hyperscale data centers, as it allows hyperscalers to ...

The real-time communications capability of industrial Ethernet is a hot topic. It will be a key component of the Industrial Safety Network panel discussion being held on the first day of The ...

Ethernet is ubiquitous. As long as it is the protocol of choice in IT, and the cost of even industrially hardened Ethernet switches and I/O are low, Ethernet will remain the communication protocol of ...

Verizon made headlines over the summer when it announced that its frame relay and ATM customers have three years to migrate to modern IP services. Efforts like these by top-tier carriers are driving ...

When designing FPGA-based Ethernet connected embedded systems the priority and necessity of requirements such as cost, area, flexibility etc. varies for each system. Simplified for most systems, it ...

Although Ethernet is generally considered to be a settled matter, its history was anything but peaceful, with its standardization process (under Project 802) leaving its traces to this very day. This ...

With growing complexity and increased packet processing and throughput requirements, there is a greater need for a cost effective distributed DSLAM architecture so that traffic-processing requirements ...
