Definitions
Cyclic Redundancy Check
The method used to compute the 32-bit frame check sequence (FCS).
Frame Check Sequence
The 32-bit field at the end of a frame that contains the result of the cyclic redundancy check
(CRC).
Frame
An Ethernet string of data bits that includes the Destination Address (DA), Source Address
(SA), optional length field, Logical Link Control data (LLC data), pad bits (if needed) and
Frame Check Sequence (FCS).
