Hi Everybody

I am trying to understand the Ethernet FCS trailer, when i do a packet capture on the local LAN i never see FCS trailer appended to Ethernet Frame.
Can some shed more light on this behavior is this something expected because we no longer attached FCS or it is stripped of hence not see.

Further i have a sample capture which shows FCS in Ethernet frames also the packet is recognized as Shim6 header. I am attaching the capture for someone to have a look at it and can someone say weather this is valid packet.

Thanks
