The ethernet layer.
This is tasked with decoding the framed ethernet data that the physical device deals with, and putting upper layer data into an ethernet framing. This is conceptually and practically simply an implementation of the ideas outlined in the generic layer documentation. The state and logic within the ethernet endpoint is tiny compared to other layers.
