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

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.

Hmm, I think the answer is D. 1500 bytes, since that's the standard Ethernet frame size. Gotta love those nice round numbers!
