I assume that's "802.1D", capital "D".

If so, they're probably Spanning Tree Protocol packets.

See:

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1D

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_tree_protocol

and the IEEE "Get IEEE 802" page at

        http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/

from which you can download various IEEE 802 standards.
