Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a method for preventing MAC address spoofing. Background technique
[0002] The IEEE802.3 standard stipulates that in a standard Ethernet MAC frame, there are destination MAC address and source MAC address, and the length is 6 bytes. figure 1 It is a standard Ethernet MAC frame format, where:
[0003] Destination Address: destination MAC address, 6Bytes
[0004] Source Address: source MAC address, 6Bytes
[0005] Length / type: data length or message type, 2Bytes
[0006] DATA: the data field carried by the Ethernet frame
[0007] FCS: Frame Check Sequence
[0008] The destination MAC address is used to identify which physical device the Ethernet frame is sent to, and the source MAC address is used to identify which physical device the Ethernet frame is sent from. The first bit of the destination MAC address (the lowest bit of the first byte) indicates whether the destinatio...
