Ethernet — DIX V2
The frame used in DIX Ethernet networks is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Format of an Ethernet V2 frame
There is no LLC data in an Ethernet V2 frame. The maximum size for the frame is 1526 bytes. This means that the data field can be 1500 bytes maximum. The MTU for Ethernet V2 can be set to 1500 bytes.
It is possible to bridge Ethernet V2 frames to either IEEE 802.3 or IEEE 802.5 networks; an LLC header is added or removed from the frame, as required, as part of the conversion when bridging.
