"You may know that the minimum frame size in an Ethernet network is 64 bytes or 512 bits, including the 32 bit CRC. You may also know that the maximum length of an Ethernet cable segment is 500 meters for 10BASE5 thick cabling and 185 meters for 10BASE2 thin cabling. It is, however, a much less well known fact that these two specifications are directly related."
Odd, given that the VERY first thing anybody is taught about CSMA/CD ethernet is how the maximum length of cable and minimum packet size are precisely related. Indeed, it's almost the only thing people are taught about the relationship of those two.
