"Each VLAN TAG (there could be several VLAN TAGs in a frame!) should be clearly
structured under the "Ethernet II" top-level node" only for Ethernet frames.
Not all frames with VLAN tags are Ethernet frames:
IEEE Std 802.1Q speaks of VLANs as a general mechanism, not something
Ethernet-specific;
if you're capturing on the Linux "any" device, even Ethernet packets don't
show up with Ethernet headers;
Ethernet packets might have Gigamon headers after the 14-byte Ethernet
header.
Any fix for this problem must handle all of those cases, and must also handle
802.1ad and VLAN frames that have a length field rather than a type field
following the VLAN header, so as not to reopen the bugs listed below.
