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. giant is a packet that is too large to traverse the network. Network protocols such as Ethernet often require
that packets can not be over a specific number of bytes in order to travel the network.
