In case the length of the Ethernet frame is 64 (60 in case the frame has been
captured without FCS), the way to determine where tcp data ends and Ethernet
padding begins is to look at the IP header that is located between Ethernet
and TCP header. The IP header has a field called total length, which in the
case of TCP is the sum of IP-header, TCP-header, TCP-data.
