For use in a local research project we want an official Ethernet protocol number, to put in the bytes 13+14 of the packets. I believe that there should be a way to obtain such a number, and I heard the company-name Xerox mentioned. Does anyone have more precise information? Hans van Staveren Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam

I have collected these for my ethernet watching program that runs on a Sun. Hope this helps a little bit... 0x200: XEROX PUP 0x201: PUP Addr.
