It's just a raw packet of EtherType 0x0842 as the so-called "Magic Packet" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Magic_packet> For example, if you were to run: (assuming interface name 'eth0') # tcpdump -i eth0 ether proto 0x0842 You'd see the ether-wake command's packet. If you strace the process, you'll see the socket is created as socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(0)). -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
