10. How does the Ethernet address 1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6F appear on the line in binary?

11. The address 43:7B:6C:DE:10:00 has been shown as the source address in an
Ethernet frame. The receiver has discarded the frame. Why?

12. An Ethernet MAC sublayer receives 42 bytes of data from the upper layer. How
many bytes of padding must be added to the data?

13. An Ethernet MAC sublayer receives 1510 bytes of data from the upper layer. Can
the data be encapsulated in one frame? If not, how many frames need to be sent?
What is the size of the data in each frame?

14. Suppose the length of a l0Base5 cable is 2500 m. If the speed of propagation in a
thick coaxial cable is 200,000,000 m/s, how long does it take for a bit to travel
from the beginning to the end of the network? Assume there are 10 µs delay in
the equipment.

15. The data rate of l0Base5 is 10 Mbps. How long does it take to create the smallest
frame? Show your calculation.

16. In a CDMA/CD network with a data rate of 10Mbps, the maximum distance
between any station pair is found to be 2500m for the correct operation of the
collision detection process. What should be the maximum distance if we increase
the data rate to

a) 100 Mbps for the same minimum frame size?

b) 1 Gbps for the same minimum frame size?
