LSR Ethernet Encapsulated IP Hash only Option Enabled

This option behaves like LSR IP-only hash, except for how the IP SA/DA information is found.

After the bottom of the MPLS stack is reached, the hash algorithm verifies that what follows is an Ethernet II untagged or tagged frame. For untagged frames, the system determines the value of EtherType at the expected packet location and checks whether it contains an Ethernet-encapsulated IPv4 (0x0800) or IPv6 (0x86DD) value. The system also supports Ethernet II tagged frames with up to two 802.1Q tags, provided that the EtherType value for the tags is 0x8100.

When the ethertype verification passes, the first nibble of the expected IP packet location is then verified to be 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6).
