IP-10 L2 Layers

This document summarizes the frame structure for different Ethernet frame types: 1) Untagged Ethernet frames can be up to 1518 bytes long and consist of preamble, SFD, DA, SA, length/type, payload, padding, FCS, and IFG fields. 2) Tagged Ethernet frames can be up to 1522 bytes long and include an additional 4-byte VLAN tag between the DA and SA fields. 3) Double-tagged Ethernet frames can be up to 1526 bytes long and contain two 4-byte VLAN tags for service provider networks, with an outer tag between DA and SA and inner tag between length/type and payload.
