Q: Which part of an Ethernet frame holds the information from the transport and application levels, as well as higher layers like Internet Protocol (IP)?
- Payload
- Frame Check Sequence
- Preamble
- EtherType
Explanation: The part of an Ethernet frame known as the “Data” or “Payload” field is the portion that stores the information coming from higher levels. These higher layers include the Internet Protocol (IP), the transport layer, and the application layer. The encapsulated data from higher-layer protocols is included in the payload of an Ethernet frame, which comes after the Ethernet header in an Ethernet frame. Information from protocols such as IP, TCP, and UDP, as well as data from application layers, may be carried in the payload.
