014.01.28.4. In the context of Ethernet networks, what is the purpose of sending messages in frames, and what information do these frames contain? How does the concept of frames facilitate communication between devices on the same network?
Devices on an ethernet network send messages in frames, which are wrappers around the data sent. A frame contains the origin and destination MAC address. Frames facilitiate communicate between devices on same network as MAC address on an ethernet network is same, and this way communication becomes easier.
In Ethernet networks, devices communicate by encapsulating data within frames, each containing source and destination MAC addresses. It's crucial to note that MAC addresses on the same network must be unique for individual devices. This uniqueness ensures accurate identification and targeted communication between devices, making Ethernet an efficient and reliable means of local network communication.
