Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 4, wherein the length field associated with the Ethernet payload indicates a length of the Ethernet payload that is greater than a predetermined length threshold and the length of the Ethernet payload indicates an Ethertype of the Ethernet frame, and wherein determining whether the Ethernet frame is corrupted includes:
determining whether the Ethertype of the Ethernet frame indicated by the length field associated with the Ethernet payload includes one of internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) or internet protocol version 6 (IPv6);
in response to a determination that the Ethertype indicated by the length field associated with the Ethernet payload does not include one of IPv4 or IPv6:
determining whether the Ethertype indicated in the length field associated with the Ethernet payload is included in a preconfigured range, the preconfigured range indicating a range of allowed Ethertypes;
determining that the Ethernet frame is not corrupted when the Ethertype indicated in the length field associated with the Ethernet payload is included in the preconfigured range; and
determining that the Ethernet frame is corrupted when the Ethertype indicated in the length field associated with the Ethernet payload is not included in the preconfigured range; and

in response to a determination that the Ethertype indicated by the length field associated with the Ethernet payload includes one of IPv4 or IPv6:
determining whether an internet protocol (IP) header of the Ethernet frame is corrupted; and
determining that the Ethernet frame is corrupted in response to a determination that the IP header of the Ethernet frame is corrupted.
