Question: The conventional 1 0 Mbps Ethernet has a minimum frame size of 6 4 bytes. As long as frames are longer than 6 4 bytes,
The conventional Mbps Ethernet has a minimum frame size of bytes. As long as frames are longer than bytes, no padding is used. Now consider Gigabit Ethernet Gbps which forces a minimum frame size of bytes by padding any smaller frames. Frames smaller than bytes waste usable bandwidth and hence reduce the effective bandwidth of the LAN. Calculate the effective bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet where of the total frames transmitted on the LAN are bytes long and the rest are all bytes long. I Ignore any bandwidth waste due to Ethernet frame header. Consider only the waste due to the larger minimum frame size.
