I definitely recall that Ethernet has a limit, and I believe it’s 1500 bytes. That seems to be the most common answer.

Was it 1200 bytes? I feel like I’ve seen that number somewhere, but I’m not confident.

The maximum size of an IP datagram for Ethernet is 1500 bytes. I'm confident about this, as it's a common networking fact. Option D is the correct answer.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Ethernet has some size limitations, but I'm not sure if that directly translates to the IP datagram size. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason this out.

Okay, let's see. I remember learning that the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for Ethernet is 1500 bytes, so that's probably the answer. I'll go with D.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know Ethernet has a maximum frame size, but I can't recall the exact value off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.
HE

Ah, the age-old question: what's the max size of an IP datagram for Ethernet? I bet this is one of those questions they ask just to see if you're paying attention. D, definitely D.
AR

I think it's D) 1500 bytes.
ME

Wait, is this a trick question? I mean, 4500 bytes? That's way too big for Ethernet. And 1024 bytes? That's more like a floppy disk size. I'm going with D, 1500 bytes.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Ethernet has a maximum frame size of 1500 bytes, so the answer has to be D. No need to overthink it.
JO

I agree with you, Monte. The maximum size for an IP datagram for Ethernet is indeed 1500 bytes.
AM
Amber
