Ethernet II framing (also known as DIX Ethernet, named after DEC, Intel and Xerox, the major
participants in its design), defines the two-octet EtherType field in an Ethernet frame, preceded
by destination and source MAC addresses, that identifies an upper layer protocol encapsulating
the frame data.
The Length/EtherType field is the only one which differs between 802.3 and Ethernet II. In
802.3 it indicates the number of bytes of data in the frames payload, and can be anything from 0
to 1500 bytes. Frames must be at least 64 bytes long, not including the preamble, so, if the data
field is shorter than 46 bytes, it must be compensated by the Pad field. The reason for specifying
a minimum length lies with the collision-detect mechanism. In CSMA/CD a station must never
be allowed to believe it has transmitted a frame successfully if that frame has, in fact,
experienced a collision. In the worst case it takes twice the maximum propagation delay across
the network before a station can be sure that a transmission has been successful. If a station sends
a really short frame, it may actually finish sending and release the Ether without realising that a
collision has occurred. The 802.3 design rules specify an upper limit on the maximum
propagation delay in any Ethernet installation, and the minimum frame size is set to be more than
twice this figure.
In Ethernet II, on the other hand, this field is used to indicate the type of payload carried by the
frame.
