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().
