以太网详解（Ethernet Digest） Too detailed network frame structure The article appeared in: 2009-01-13 09:40 Detailed description of common Ethernet frame structure 1 Ethernet related background The term usually refers to the Ethernet by DEC, a standard Intel and Xerox company jointly announced in 1982, it is now the TCP/IP is mainly used in the LAN technology, which uses a media access method called CSMA/CD. A few years later, the IEEE802 committee released a slightly different set of standards, of which 802.3 for the entire CSMA/CD network, 802.4 to 802.5 for the token bus network, token ring network; the general part of the three frames from 802.2 standard to define, which is the 802 network we are familiar with the common logical link control (LLC). Because the current media access mode of CSMA/CD is the mainstream, this paper only analyzes the frame format of Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 in detail. In the TCP/IP world, the encapsulation of Ethernet IP data packets is defined in RFC 894, and the IP data packets of the IEEE802.3 network are encapsulated in RFC 1042. Standard regulation: 1) the host must be able to send and receive packets in the RFC 894 (Ethernet) package format; 2) the host should be able to receive packets in the RFC 1042 (IEEE 802.3) package format; 3) the host can send packets using the RFC 1042 (IEEE 802.3) package format. If the host can send two types of packet data at the same time, the packet sent must be set up and must be RFC 894 (Ethernet) by default. The most commonly used package format is the format defined by RFC 894, Commonly known as Ethernet, II, or Ethernet DIX. Next, lets call RFC the Ethernet frame defined in Ethernet II, and call RFC 1042 as the Ethernet frame defined in IEEE802.3. 2 frame format The frame formats for Ethernet, II, and IEEE802.3 are as follows. Ethernet II frame format: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | preorder | destination address source address data typ
