FCS in Hubs and switches
OK, thanks guys, I thought that was the case. Just a further point I'd like your opinion on: Is there really any point in a switch carrying out a FCS? Wouldn't faults be detected by the NIC anyway? Wouldn't the switch just pass on the fact that there is a bad FCS to the intended NIC along...- Donnie80

FCS in Hubs and switches
Just a quick question on clearing up something that I'm unsure about. Do Hubs and switches etc. carry out a FCS (i.e. crc32) on data or is it just left to the NIC's to calculate? Regards, D- Donnie80
