(1) In hypertext markup language (HTML) coding, a subset of the Web browser window.
(2) In Open Systems Interconnection architecture, a data structure consisting of slots that can accept the values of specific attributes and from which inferences can be drawn.
(3) The block of information transmitted between two or more stations in the data link layer of a network. It includes delimiters, control characters, information, and checking characters.
(4) A group of data bits, surrounded by a beginning sequence and an ending sequence or other control information.

(7) In fibre-channel technology, the structure used to transmit data between ports. A frame consists of a start-of-frame delimiter, a header, any optional headers, the data payload, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), and an end-of-frame delimiter. There are two types of frames: link control frames (such as transmission acknowledgments) and data frames. See also packet, data word.
