Figure 21-3 details the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 frame structure.

Figure 21-3. Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Frame Structure With More Details

Relative to Figure 21-3, the IEEE 802.3 section 3.11 (MAC frame format) defines the frame

format such that the octets of a frame are transmitted from left to right (preamble first, the FCS

last), and the bits of each octet are transmitted least-significant bit (lsb) first. The destination

address example shown in Figure 21-3 (02608C:876543) which would normally be written as

0000 0010 0110 0000 1000 1100 1000 0111 0110 0101 0100 0011

is transmitted bit by bit as

0100 0000 0000 0110 0011 0001 1110 0001 1010 0110 1100 0010

which is an individual address (because the lsb is cleared) but locally-defined (because the second

least-significant bit is set).

When first originated, a type field was used for protocol identification. The IEEE 802.3

specification eliminated the type field, replacing it with the length field. The length field is used

to identify the length, in bytes, of the data field. The protocol type in 802.3 frames is held within

the data portion of the packet. The logical link control (LLC) is responsible for providing services

to the network layer regardless of media type, such as FDDI, Ethernet, token ring, and others. The

LLC layer makes use of LLC protocol data units (PDUs) in order to communicate between the

media access control (MAC) layer and the upper layers of the protocol stack. Three variables

determine access into the upper layers via the LLC-PDU.

The variables include the destination service access point (DSAP), the source service access point

(SSAP), and a control variable. The DSAP address specifies a unique identifier within the station

providing protocol information for the upper layer. The SSAP provides the same information for

the source address.
