An Ethernet frame format is a data packet format used in the Ethernet family of computer network protocols. It consists of a data payload, a destination MAC address, a source MAC address, a check sequence and an optional pad field. The data payload is the actual data being transmitted. The destination MAC address is used by the receiving device for routing purposes. The source MAC address identifies the sender. The check sequence uses a cyclic redundancy check to verify the validity of the frame. The pad field is used to complete the frame to the minimum Ethernet frame size.
