AM2634: Ethernet minimum packet payload

Chris Lande
Expert 6545 points
Part Number: AM2634

Tool/software:

Do we support an Ethernet packet payload of less than 46 bytes?

Eg if a packet with a 4 byte payload was transferred how would it be handled by the AM2634?

Thanks

    Hi Chris,

    As per IEEE Standard, the minimum ethernet frame size is 64B, out of which 18B are fixed for packet headers (Source and destination MAC addresses, FCS, Length). If you want to send a smaller packet than 64B, it will be an invalid packet format.

    Instead you like be adding padding to increase length of the packet and meeting minimum packet size. This packet will then be processed by the AM26x device.
