Ok...my google-fu sucks and I can't for the life of me find an explanation. Assume you have a network setup as such:

Host>>switch>>router<<switch<<server

Can anyone explain to me, or point me to something that explains, the life of an ethernet frame as it travels from host to server through the various inter-connecting hardware? Like, how (if) the frame is modified at each location, assuming it is carrying an IP packet.

I just can't find anywhere that explains this. Sad

Indeed it does. Confirmed what I was thinking, in a bit more detail. Smile Thanks T!
