[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] ETHERNET Packet TYPES

jclark@sdcc6.ucsd.edu (John Clark) (11/10/90)

I need to know where to find the registered ethernet types
which can occur in the ethernet packet type field. The standard
'/usr/include/..." type files have what the local unix machine
is capable of understanding but leave no clue as to what else
one may expect when one is monitoring raw packets from the net.
