title: Why is the minimum ethernet frame 64 bytes?
body: <p>Perhaps this is better to ask an electronics engineer because it might have to do with something at the physical layer rather than programming.  But we all user ethernet, and I know that the minimum frame size is 64 bytes but I've never bothered to ask why that is the case.  Until now!  So can someone help me out? Why does it have to be 64 bytes long?</p>
