EtherType values must be greater than 0x0600; that value was chosen because Ethernet 802.3 frames aren't supposed to exceed 1500 bytes, so if the field's value is greater than 0x600, the frame must be an Ethernet v2 frame, with that field being a type field, and if it's less than or equal to 0x0600, it must be an original-style IEEE 802.3 frame, with that field being a length field. Versions of IEEE 802.3 starting with 802.3x-1997 support use of that field either as a type field or a length field, depending on its value. |
