Hi team,
Can someone explain to me the following regarding to the normal ethernet frame:
- After the preamble, should it be SOF or SFD?
Hello Vanilson
The format of the Ethernet Header is specified in IEEE 802.3. In that specification, the official name for the single byte that comes after the 7 bytes of the Preamble is Start Frame Delimiter or SFD. In the lesson, Rene has used the acronym SOF for Start of Frame in the initial image of the Ethernet Header. I will inform Rene to make the change so that it more correctly reflects the official acronym. Thanks for pointing that out.
I hope this has been helpful!
Laz
Great explanation, appreciate it
