•    Link layer frame
Frames are got by encapsulation of the network layer packet, the packet from the layer three (network layer) becomes the actual data or the payload in the frames at layer 2 (data link layer). The frame
s consists of 7 bytes of preamble, here the data consists of alternate 1’s and 0’s, preamble tells us about the beginning of the frame, followed by 1 byte of SFD, start frame delimiter, this has the octet value of 10101011, SFD tells us about the start of the actual data in the frame. We then have the 6 bytes Destination MAC address and 6 bytes of Source MAC address. Next is the type field of 2 bytes, type field tells us about the upper layer protocols. Then comes the actual data or the real payload, varying from 42 bytes to 1500 bytes in size. Followed by 4 bytes of CRC, cyclic redundancy check, an algorithm used to run at sender and the receiver ends to check the integrity of the data.
•    Network layer datagram
A network layer packet is got when the layer 4 segments are encapsulated with the Ip header at layer 3 (network layer). The ipv4 header has various fields and tells how the packet is to be processed. ipv4 header in detail is something as follows. First field is the version 4bits, specifies version of the Ip address (ipv4 /ipv6). Next comes the header length of 4bits and it specifies the length of the header fields. Next is the TOS (type of service) of 8 bits, this gives us the quality of the service (QoS), about priority, delay, reliability, throughput and cost. Next comes the total length field of 16bits and it tells us the total length of the Ip packet, including the header length and the real payload (data). Next filed is the identification of 16bits and it identifies the group of fragments of a single packet. Next comes the flags of 3 bits, they are reserved bit always set to 0, DF bit (do not fragment) it tells a packet is not to b fragmented, and last bit in the flag is the MF bit (more fragment) this tells if the packet is to be followed by another fragmented packet. Next field is the fragmented offset of 13bits and it represents the number of data bytes ahead of the fragment of the same data packet specified in terms of number of 8 bytes. Next field is the time to live field of 8 bits it prevents looping of the data packet by having a dead...
