| | Medium Access Control (MAC) |
 | | The MAC protocol encapsulates a SDU (payload data) by adding a 14 byte header (Protocol Control Information (PCI)) before the data and appending a 4-byte (32-bit) Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) after the data. | | | The maximum size of data which may be carried in a MAC frame using Ethernet is 1500 bytes (this is known as the MTU in IP). | | | If the network layer wishes to send less than 46 bytes of data the MAC protocol adds sufficient number of zero bytes (0x00, is also known as null padding characters) to satisfy this requirement. |

| | How to Troubleshoot Duplicate Media Access Control Address Conflicts |
| | To troubleshoot this problem, you have to determine which other computer on the network is using the same media access control address. | | | This would indicate that the duplicate computer is not a NetBIOS enabled computer, like a Novell server, Unix server, Router, or perhaps a Jet Direct Printer. | | | All network connectivity over TCP/IP to this computer will cease until the conflict is resolved and the system is restarted. |

| | When a MAC frame is received by the ethernet interface, the address table is searched using the destination MAC address as the key. | | | Abstract This memo describes a method for forwarding media access control (MAC) frames over Multiple Access Protocol over Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (MAPOS), thus providing a way to unify MAPOS network environment and MAC-based Local Area Network (LAN) environment. | | | If no matching entry exists, MAC broadcast forwarding (3.2) is used. |

| | The other job of the MAC layer is to arbitrate access to the medium that is shared by all the computers attached to the LAN. | | | The lower MAC layer provides the interface between the LLC and the particular network medium that is in use (Ethernet, token ring, and so on). | | | The MAC layer frames data for transmission over the network, and then passes the frame to the physical layer interface where it is transmitted as a stream of bits. |

| | We propose adaptive techniques for improving performance of media access protocols through awareness of the mobile communication environment. | | | Upon detection and notification of these conditions by snooping devices, the media access control layer adapts its operation and synchronization accordingly to reduce delay and loss of bandwidth. | | | The problems of intermittent disconnection, high error rate and collision in high-density wireless networks cause degradation in the performance of wireless media access control protocols, such as slotted ALOHA Time Division Multiple Access (slotted ALOHA/TDMA) and Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS/CDMA). |
