        Hi guys,
As far as I know, Ethernet II frames haven't length field. How can networking devices recognize the length of them? while searching more information from the Internet, I found this sentence:
However, I don't still understand. how does the interface supply the length of the received frame? How does it calculate the length of them?
Thanks you.

The length of an Ethernet II frame is not present in the frame itself. It depends on the Ethernet network interface used. When the interface sends a frame to the network device driver, it supplies the length of the received frame
However, I don't still understand. how does the interface supply the length of the received frame? How does it calculate the length of them?
Thanks you.
