Common base class for classes representing Ethernet II and 802.3 frame types, containing their common header fields.
This class should never be instantiated by the models, only specific subclasses: EthernetIIFrame, EtherFrameWithLLC and EtherFrameWithSNAP.
Source and destination MAC address are stored in data members. Packet length includes Etherner header, payload, padding and FCS. Payload length can be accessed as getEncapsulatedPacket()->getByteLength().
The following diagram shows usage relationships between types. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
EtherFrameWithLLC | packet |
Ethernet frame with 802.3 LLC header. |
EthernetIIFrame | packet |
Ethernet II headers contain a 16-bit EtherType to identify the encapsulated protocol. |
EtherPauseFrame | packet |
Ethernet frame used by the PAUSE protocol |
