HT2XB Count Down Value
HTX2B Jumbo Frame Length 23:16
RW
0x0
This value + 1500 is used by hardware as the
maximum standard frame length for HTX2B. A
frame with a length larger than that is a jumbo
frame for HTX2B.
The length is the effective length of a composed
L2 frame as seen from the wire, including the L2
header, L2 payload, and the FCS (CRC) field.
