Minimum frame size for Ethernet can be 64 bytes. (6+6+2+46) + 4 CRC
but i have frames captured (on ethereal) that show up as 54 bytes as well. (it was a Ethernet II frame)
can someone explain how that is possible ?
The minimum frame size is a media requirement. Depending on the type of packet, the system may be able to tell how much is padding, and if so, will ignore that part of the packet.
