Hi,
Can anyone provide me with the answer to this question:
What is the minimum Ethernet frame size that will not be discarded by the receiver as a runt frame?
- 64 bytes
- 512 bytes
- 1024 bytes
- 1500 bytes

The minimum Ethernet frame size is 64 bytes. Frames smaller than 64 bytes are considered collided fragments or stubs and discarded.
The answer is 64 bytes. In addition. Each frame has a minimum length that is enforced on the payload of the frame in order to allow collision detection to work reliably.
The answer to your question is the first option, which is 64 bytes. However, the frame size can be modified and will be larger if some requirements will be changed.
The minimum size of an Ethernet frame is 64 bytes , and the expected maximum is 1518 bytes.
