To improve the documentation in the commit message, should the "00000800" (0x0800) EtherType not be masked with 0xFFFF too? Non IPv4 packets which happen to have the masked data "01020304" in that position would incorrectly match. By adding 0xFFFF in the mask to check ethertype == 0x8000, this issue is resolved. > 00000000000000000000000008004500001400004000401000000000000001020304 \ > pattern mask \ > 00000000000000000000FFFFFFFF00000000000000000000000000000000ffffffff \ Difficult to see if I changed correct characters in the string from 0 to F, but I hope the point is clear.
