Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / rahmath
A runt is a packet that fails to meet the minimum size
standard. Ussually below 64 bytes. Occurs as a result of
a collision.
A giant is a packet that exceeds the size standard for the
medium ussually grater then 1518 bytes . Caused by
malfunctioning equipment on your network.
Late collisions are packet collisions that occur after the
window for a network collision closes.

Answer / loyd
When used in reference to networks, a runt is a packet that
is too small to traverse the network. Network protocols
such as Ethernet often require that packets be a minimum
number of bytes in order to travel the network. Runts are
often the result of packet collisions along a busy network
or can result from faulty hardware that is forming the
packets or from corrupted data being sent across the
network.

Answer / loyd
giant is a packet that is too large to traverse the
network. Network protocols such as Ethernet often require
that packets can not be over a specific number of bytes in
order to travel the network.
