Re: Ether Type and Protocol Type

Hi,

my preferred way for getting answers to those questions is watching
frames/packets in Wireshark. If the Wireshark code of a particular
protocol is not broken, it is a very convenient way to find out about
the truth ;-)
Sample capture files for the protocols you have mentioned are
available on the following sites:

http://packetlife.net/captures/ (Direct links to CloudShark)
- Example: http://www.cloudshark.org/view?url=http://packetlife.net/captures/802.1Q_tunneling.cap
 * Ethernet(eth-type 0x8100)/802.1q (TPID 0x8100)/802.1q (TPID
0x8000)/IPv4 (proto 1)/ICMP
