Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An Ethernet frame starts with a header, which contains the source and destination MAC addresses, among other data. The middle part of the frame is the actual data. The frame ends with a field called Frame Check Sequence (FCS). Preamble – informs the receiving system that a frame is starting and enables synchronisation.
Detailed explanation-2: -A frame is the data unit for the data link layer, whereas a packet is the transmission unit of the network layer. Hence, we associate frames to physical addresses while we link packets to logical addresses. In short, a frame and a packet differ in how they encapsulate the data payload.
