I had a question about the Ethernet packet format from etherpkt.cc/etherpkt.hh When I use EtherTap and decode the packets using tcpdump at the tap-interface, all ping packets from a simulated GEM5 system show up as :
08:26:28.672914 ff:ff:ff:ff:00:90 (oui Unknown) > 00:00:00:2a:ff:ff (oui Ethernet) Null Information, send seq 4, rcv seq 3, Flags [Response], length 32 This leads me to think that the packet format is non-standard, because this can usually be decoded as an ICMP packet by tcpdump. Besides the ping packet has a non-standard length of 84 in the simulated GEM5 system. Can anyone help me out here ?
