A node that is sending longer than the maximum transmission window for an Ethernet packet is considered to be jabbering. Depending on the physical topology, jabber detection and remedy differ somewhat.

  • End nodes utilizing a MAC layer will usually detect an oversized Ethernet frame and cease receiving. A bridge/switch will not forward the frame.[8]
  • A non-uniform frame size configuration in the network using jumbo frames may be detected as jabber by end nodes.[citation needed] Jumbo frames are not part of the official IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard.
  • A packet detected as jabber by an upstream repeater and subsequently cut off has an invalid frame check sequence and is dropped.[9]
