Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ethernet MTU The Ethernet frame is on Layer 2 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI). The standard size MTU for Ethernet is 1, 500 bytes. This does not include the Ethernet header of 18 or 20 bytes, and is the theoretical maximum amount of data that can be transmitted by the physical link.
Detailed explanation-2: -To recap, Ethernet has a minimum frame size of 64 bytes, comprising an 18-byte header and a payload of 46 bytes. It also has a maximum frame size of 1518 bytes, in which case the payload is 1500 bytes. If the message to be sent leads to a frame size of less than the 64-byte minimum, the additional bytes are padded.
Detailed explanation-3: -Uses 802.3 full-duplex Ethernet technology.
