Sent to NIC buffer, small section of RAM on the NIC

MAU (part of NIC) turns bits into electrical signals

NIC at other end receives data and puts in computers RAM

Bit – binary digit (0 or 1), smallest unit of information used

Parity – error checking, 8th bit usually for parity check

Always 0 – space parity/no parity

Even number of 1’s – even parity
