How can a receiver tell whether an Ethernet frame uses the 802.3 standard?

What will be an ideal response?


To keep the two versions of Ethernet compatible, a convention is used:
If bytes 13-14 of an Ethernet frame contain a numeric value less than 1500, the field is interpreted as
a packet length and the 802.3 standard applies; otherwise, the field is interpreted as a type field and
the original Ethernet standard applies.
