Ethernet frame

Can any one explain me about length/Type (2 byte) in Ethernet frame.

As I aware if value in less than or equal to 1500 then this is 802.3(LLC) frame and if the value is more than 1500, then this frame is belong to ethernet II frame.

My questions:

1) how upper layer protocol are mentioned in this length/Type column?

2)802.3(LLC) means it only deal with layer 2 protocol ?

Kindly clarify my doubt:-)

1) how upper layer protocol are mentioned in this length/Type column?

Each code maps to a different protocol.

2)802.3(LLC) means it only deal with layer 2 protocol ?

No, As far as I know, the LLC version has DSAP, SSAP fields that eventually determines the upper layer protocols. Full details are here: www.firewall.cx/ethernet-frames-802.3.php

Thank you very much for the code maps.

Your always welcome
