Multiple Frame Copies
Another problem is that a device can receive multiple copies of the same frame because the
frame can arrive from different segments at the same time. Figure 15.3 shows how multiple
frames can arrive from multiple segments simultaneously.
All frames addressed to a host are processed, and although upper layer protocols such as
TCP may be able to easily identify that frames are duplicated, there is still an unnecessary processing
overhead. Additionally, some connectionless protocols may not realize that frames contain
duplicate information and may become confused
