I need a cross reference of ethernet protocol identifiers.
A listing of codes and the corresponding symbolic name would be
sufficient. I'm trying to track down some strange stuff on a large
LAN.
I remember a couple of requests for this information some time ago
but I did not save the articles.
Please reply via mail. I will post a summary in a week or so.
Regards,
Mike Brown

We keep this table on-line for use in the documentation of our network monitoring software. We started with the last version of the assigned numbers RFC and added things as we came across them. If this table is missing anything, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. -Nancy Connor FTP Software, Inc. ... harvard!spdcc!ftp!nancy nancy@vax.ftp.com Ethernet protocol types The Ethernet TYPE field contains a hexadecimal number which can be interpreted to yield a symbolic Ethernet protocol type name.

Thanks to everyone who sent me updates for the Ethernet protocol code table. If there is enough interest, I can post my revised version of the table. Anyone who missed the posting can get the current version via anonymous FTP to vax.ftp.com. The file is called ether-prot.h. -Nancy Connor FTP Software, Inc. nancy@vax.ftp.com ... harvard!spdcc!ftp!nancy

Posting-Front-End: GNU Emacs 18.47.2 of Thu Aug 13 1987 on ftp (berkeley-unix) To all those who informed me that the protections on ether-prot.h were set wrong, thanks for letting me know about the problem. I've changed the protections so that it's publicly readable now. My apologies to anyone who was affected by this problem. -Nancy Connor FTP Software, Inc. nancy@vax.ftp.com ... harvard!spdcc!ftp!nancy

If there is enough interest, I can post my revised version of >the table. I would like to see it posted: we do not have anonymous FTP access across to the US of A. One thing which worried me was that we wanted a set of types for our own internal use. We chose the 5000 to 52ff range: FTP's list shows that one of these is apparently spoken for. Does anyone know if there is a range reserved for local use? On the same subject, I always encourage people to use multicast addresses, not the broadcast address. Who hands out multicast addresses, what are the currently assigned ones and what are the variable fields in those that are assigned (e.g. the LAVC cluster number used by DEC)? Is much the same problem when we are writing our own software packages. Clearly, I know a few already in use. -- _ _ o | __ | jmg@cernvax.uucp | | | | _ / \ _ __ _ __ _| jmg@cernvax.bitnet | | | | |_) /_) | __/_) | (___\ | (_/ | J. M. Gerard, Div.
