Detailed explanation-1: -For example, with Ethernet, the maximum frame size is 1518 bytes, 18 bytes of which are overhead (header and frame check sequence), resulting in an MTU of 1500 bytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Assuming the MTU payload to be 1500 the total number of bytes comes to 1500 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 4 = 1526 bytes.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
