The validation of the Length field in PPPoE headers is incorrect. Wireshark is
expecting the PPPoE header itself to be part of the length when in fact it is
not.
RFC2516 states:
The LENGTH field is sixteen bits. The value, in network byte order,
indicates the length of the PPPoE payload. It does not include the
length of the Ethernet or PPPoE headers.
Currently a yellow warning appears on all PPPoE packets stating the length is
incorrect
