Answer #1

Solution:

a) Earlier the infrastructure was using half-duplex communication. A sender has to check the network whether it is idle or not for sending the frame. It has to check for the collision with the other sender who has started sending the frame. Frame take some time to check the Hub and cable length So it is required to have the minimum size of 64 bytes to detect the collision.

b) The range of the pad field in the Ethernet Frame is 0-46 Bytes.
