The maximum size of the Layer 2 frame has become a source of inefficiency in terms of modern wide area network (WAN) speeds, which have increased some 400 times over those prevailing when Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) was first introduced as a protocol. One solution to this problem is known as WAN acceleration, which uses oversized frames at Layer 2 to increase network throughput.

Each layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model has one or more protocol data units (PDUs) associated with it; in the case of Layer 2, at which switching is executed, the PDU used is the frame. Do some research on the various frame types available for Layer 2 operations, and discuss, using diagrams, those frame types. Your paper should cover following questions:
