A ethernet 802.x packet is a struct of: preamble (8 byte) | destination (6 byte) | source (6 byte) | length (2 byte) | data (46-1500 byte) | fcs (4 byte) If fcs (frame check sequence) is wrong the packet will be resent. This is handled by a lower layer or a network device itself (I think by layer 2, the error correction of the data link layer). I think preamble and fcs are therefore not seen by protocol analyzers. For mobile devices or slow connections with medium to large data amount I would use udp with a custom struct and MD5 for every data chunk of a certain size.
