Hi,
Does someone know what that is? and why it is there...?
Is it just a pcap decoding bug(feature)?
Down in the packet contents, we can see that it's padding added to get the frame to be the correct minimum size.
More info: http://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/7095/wireshark-etherent-ii-trailer-field
Are you sure?
As far as I know the minimum Ethernet frame size is 64 bytes, this one is 126.
Well, why is it 126? What's going on with the sender?
Interesting, I can't explain that off the top of my head or a 30 second google.
You're both correct
- The ethernet trailer is padding added to the end of a frame to make up minimum size
- minimum size is 64 bytes (including 4 byte CRC)
Can't explain why a 126 byte frame has a trailer. Though I can't say I've ever looked into this topic or even ethernet trailers at all!
BTW welcome back sergey!
Thanks
