What is a runt, Giant, and collision?

Answer Posted / 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.
