For IP-over-Ethernet packets, the IP header is after the 14-byte Ethernet header, so it starts at an offset of 14 bytes from the beginning of the frame.
For IP-over-PPPoE packets, the PPPoE session header is after the 14-byte Ethernet header, so it starts at an offset of 14 bytes from the beginning of the frame. That header is 6 bytes long, and is followed by a PPP header, so the PPP header starts at an offset of 20 bytes from the beginning of the frame. For IPv4 and IPv6 over PPP, the PPP header is 2 bytes, and is followed by the IP header, so the IP header starts at an offset of 22 bytes from the beginning of the frame.
