What is a 'runt' in the context of network communications?
A packet sent from one switch to another
A packet that is smaller than the allowed minimum packet size
A packet that meets the exact size requirements
A packet that is larger than the allowed maximum packet size
A 'runt' is a frame that is smaller than the minimum IEEE 802.3 frame size of 64 bytes. Understanding runts is essential as they typically indicate collision fragments or other issues that can cause network inefficiency and errors. Frames over the maximum size are referred to as 'giants' and are caused by different issues, hence it is critical to distinguish between these types for accurate network troubleshooting. Frames that meet the minimum size requirement but not the exact expected size are generally not referred to specifically as runts but may indicate other configuration or compatibility issues.
