This class currently contains no implementation because only ethernet is supported. In other words, all instances of packets returned by packet factory will always be at least as specific as EthernetPacket.
On large ethernet networks, I sometimes see packets which don't have link-level ethernet headers. If and when I figure out what these are, maybe this class will be the root node of a packet hierarchy derived from something other than ethernet. @author Patrick Charles and Jonas Lehmann @version $Revision: 1.8 $ @lastModifiedBy $Author: pcharles $ @lastModifiedAt $Date: 2004/05/05 23:14:45 $
