Linux networking
Linux for Engineering and IT Applications
Link Layer Protocols
Provides Datagram (data) delivery between hosts physically connected via cables, hubs and switches (physical layer components).
Ethernet protocol.
Packet collisions.
Ethernet packet (simplified):
Header
Data Field (IP protocol data)
CRC
The header
(14 b): MAC addresses of the destination and source; type field for the network layer.
MAC address
(6 bytes):
00:60:08
:CA:39:C3
the first 3 bytes identify the vendor
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
: relates IP to MAC for the local hosts :
/usr/sbin/arp -a ? (192.168.5.240) at 08:00:20:1A:FD:43 [ether] on eth0
