  2. Ethernet frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_frame

    Ethernet packet. The SFD (start frame delimiter) marks the end of the packet preamble. It is immediately followed by the Ethernet frame, which starts with the destination MAC address. [1] In computer networking, an Ethernet frame is a data link layer protocol data unit and uses the underlying Ethernet physical layer transport

  3. Protocol data unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_data_unit

    Protocol data units of the OSI model are: [1] The Layer 4: transport layer PDU is the segment or the datagram. The Layer 3: network layer PDU is the packet. The Layer 2: data link layer PDU is the frame. The Layer 1: physical layer PDU is the bit or, more generally, symbol.

  4. Frame (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_(networking)

    Frames are the result of the final layer of encapsulation before the data is transmitted over the physical layer. [1] A frame is "the unit of transmission in a link layer protocol, and consists of a link layer header followed by a packet." [2] Each frame is separated from the next by an interframe gap. A frame is a series of bits generally ...

  5. Packet segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_segmentation

    In data communications networks, packet segmentation is the process of dividing a data packet into smaller units for transmission over the network. Packet segmentation happens at layer four of the OSI model; the transport layer. [1] Segmentation may be required when: The data packet is larger than the maximum transmission unit supported by the ...

  6. Network packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_packet

    A data unit at layer 2, the data link layer, is a frame. In layer 4, the transport layer , the data units are segments and datagrams . Thus, in the example of TCP/IP communication over Ethernet , a TCP segment is carried in one or more IP packets , which are each carried in one or more Ethernet frames .

    Reliable transmission of data segments between points on a network, including segmentation, acknowledgement and multiplexing: Media layers 3 Network: Packet: Structuring and managing a multi-node network, including addressing, routing and traffic control: 2 Data link: Frame: Transmission of data frames between two nodes connected by a physical ...

  8. Generic Stream Encapsulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Stream_Encapsulation

    Label re-use: no label is present; the label is the same as the previous GSE packet in the same base band frame. LT=11 is also used for intermediate and end packets (i.e. Start bit 0). LT=11 shall not be used for the first GSE packet in a base band frame with Start bit 1.

  9. 802.11 frame types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11_Frame_Types

    The two-bit protocol version subfield is set to 0 for WLAN (PV0) and 1 for IEEE 802.11ah (PV1). The revision level is incremented only when there is a fundamental incompatibility between two versions of the standard. [1] [2] PV1 description is incorporated in the latest 802.11-2020 standard.
