0 votes 0 votes The payload is 1500 bytes, but when the destination address, source address, type/length, and checksum fields are counted, plus the VLAN header, the total is indeed 1522. Prior to VLANs, the total was 1518. kirtipurohit answered Jul 28, 2021 kirtipurohit comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
