What is the length restriction of the data field in an Ethernet frame?
- between 0 to 1500 bytes
- between 46 to 1500 bytes
- between 46 to 1518 bytes
- between 46 to 1522 bytes
Explanation: The data field in an Ethernet frame contains the Layer 3 PDU, or an IP packet. This field has the minimum length of 46 bytes and maximum length of 1500 bytes. If the Layer 3 PDU is smaller than 46 bytes, padding is added to meet the minimum length requirement.
