Package: netbase
Version: 6.4
Severity: normal
File: /etc/ethertypes

EtherCAT Protocol is Ethernet based, and transports frames as its own
ethertype. This is due to real-time contstrains, and custom requirements
for checksums, cut-through processing, low latency, and elimination of
IP stack and processing of various packets directly in hardware.
While Linux machine is not often on a EtherCAT ring network, it can be
used as a master, or a slave leaf, or just for monitoring purposes,
extra out of the field operations (i.e. testing, firmware upgrade), and
with suitable hardware and RT kernel also as a real slave device.
I do not see EtherCAT or 0x88A4 at IANA's IEEE 802 Numbers registry, but
it is what it is and it is used for a long time in the industry (since
around 2003).
Lets add /etc/ethertypes
0x88A4, EtherCAT Protocol
This can be confirmed on EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG), and Wikipedia
too, as well in international standards like IEC/PAS 62407, or IEC
61158, IEC 61784-2, and IEC 61800-7.
Regards,
Witold
