Hello ,
Could anyone give me the translation of these ethernet protocols or give a
pointer to a site I could FTP an extensive list of protocols along with their
translation ,as I might discover new protocols on our network and I wouldn't
like to send such a request every week or so ...
Thank you all,
Joseph.
Please email if you have partial answer to my request and I will summarize them
unless someone can provide me with a FTP site ( no need to have the job done
twice , right ??? )

The list is maintained in the "Assigned Numbers" RFC (RFC 1060, unless it has been republished recently), available from the standard places. But I think that most of the numbers you are seeing are bogus values. Values like 2020, aaaa, and ffff are not legit - aaaa is commonly seen in test packets, often with a source Ethernet address of aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. But I suspect that most of the rest are simply from corrupted packets that happen to have a valid checksum - odds are that 1 in 65,536 corrupted packets will have a good checksum, or maybe more (this would require a detailed electrical analysis to know for sure). If you can count packets of a given type, make sure you're seeing them with a higher frequency than your checksum error rates would account for. Doug Nelson Michigan State University

Just a small correction. The probability of an error getting through the
