When discussing Ethernet data, the terms frame and packet are often used interchangeably. Frames and packets are the electronic containers that carry our data from point-to-point by navigating LANs ...

Since the AV world has gone a little crazy over Ethernet and IP, I decided to try to learn more about each by using books and web sources. To my surprise, it seems as though there is not uniform ...

The tortuous evolution of Ethernet over the period spanning its inception in 1973 to 1992 was only the beginning of a long history of technological expansion that brought Ethernet as far out as the ...

Ethernet is a frame-based data communication technology that employs variable-sized frames to carry a data payload. This contrasts with long-haul Optical Transport Networks (OTN) that use fixed-sized ...

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 ...

The venerable ESP8266 has rocked the Internet of Things world. Originally little more than a curious $3 WiFi-to-serial bridge, bit by bit, the true power of the ESP has become known, fully ...

The IEEE task force weighing whether and how to expand the size of Ethernet frames met again last week and made a couple of key decisions. Earlier this year, the study group looking at the possibility ...

Ethernet is a layer 2 data link protocol that is widely used with the TCP/IP protocol, which resides at layers 3 and 4. To understand network communications, it is essential to learn about the ...

Using Ethernet to move AV files is old news. What is news is using it to transport and switch real-time video streams in a broadcast, venue or post facility. Especially cutting edge is switching ...
