Question from Chappel's book (ICRC, Chapter 11, page 269). Is generic as well. About IPX framing options. ICRC shows four different ways to frame IPX on ethernet:
Cisco name frame format ----- ----- novell-ether 802.3 IPX sap 802.3 802.2_LLC IPX arpa ethernet IPX snap 802.3 802.2_LLC SNAP IPX I understand "arpa" format to be where "ethernet" format is where the 2 bytes following the SRC MAC is a type field. "sap" and "snap" format is where these 2 bytes are a length field and are minimally followed by an 802.2 LLC. My question is about the "novell-ether" format. This format shows an 802.3 "header" but no field for a type value. Is this correct that there is no explicit type field in the "novell-ether" format? Is the DST MAC used to identify this as a Novel frame, and hence no type field is necessary?
