About LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL / LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2

[Francois-Xavier Le Bail <devel.fx.lebail () orange fr>]

Hello,

In http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes/LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL.html and
http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes/LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2.html, there is:

"If there are more than 8 bytes, only the first 8 bytes are present, and if there are fewer than 8
bytes, there are padding bytes after the address to pad the field to 8 bytes."

Does anyone know why the 8 bytes limit ?

Should we add that the padding is done with '\0' bytes ?
