What happens to a frame when it arrives at a NIC whose MAC address matches the destination address?

What will be an ideal response?


If the frame has a destination MAC address that matches that of a receiving NIC, the NIC will process the frame, first using the CRC to verify that the data is correct. If so, it strips off the framing information and sends the data to the network operating system for processing.
