1. the purpose of the link layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite is to send and receive (1) IP datagrams for the IP module, (2) ARP requests and replies for the ARP module, and (3) RARP requests and replies for the RARP module.
2. 802.3 和 以太网帧格式不同; CSMA/CD : 带冲突检测的载波侦听多路接入
802.4 令牌总线
802.5 令牌环
3. MTU for Ethernet is 1500 and for 802.3 is 1492
4. path MTU : the smallest MTU of any data link that packets traverse between the two hosts.
use netstat command to check the interface and MTU

本文介绍了TCP/IP协议套件中链路层的主要职责,包括发送和接收IP数据报、ARP请求及回复、RARP请求及回复等。同时,对比了802.3与以太网的帧格式,并解释了CSMA/CD、令牌总线与令牌环的工作原理。文中还提供了以太网和802.3的最大传输单元(MTU)的具体数值,并介绍了路径MTU的概念及其检查方法。
