Lod god, I'm a real tool aren't I! :)

My math was all screwed up and apparently I can't count the number of 
octets in a mac address.  Why I said 8, I don't know.  6 it is.  
Source/Dest = 12 + type (2bytes) = 14.

Thanks for going easy on me! :)

So why would the length of the layer 2 frame not be expressed, but the 
length of the layer 3+ datagrams would be expressed?
