Explanation
The Ethernet II frame is the most commonly used Ethernet frame format. It consists of several fields, and its structure is well-defined in networking standards. Structure of the Ethernet II Header: Destination MAC Address (6 bytes): Specifies the MAC address of the intended recipient. Source MAC Address (6 bytes): Specifies the MAC address of the sender. EtherType (2 bytes): Indicates the protocol encapsulated in the payload (e.g., IPv4, ARP). The Ethernet II header without a VLAN tag is 14 bytes in size. If a VLAN tag is added (using IEEE 802.1Q), the header size increases to 18 bytes due to the additional 4-byte VLAN tag.
