No, the 6th byte (data[5]) is not a padding field. It is the first byte of the SNAP header. The original code is misleading. That is part of the reasons why I want to fix it with this patch. The frame format is specified in RFC 2427 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2427). We can see in Section 4.1 and 4.2 that the 6th byte is the first byte of the SNAP header.
