Hi all,
I've just noticed that IEEE 802.3-2005 does not explicitly tell what MAC client data is when the Length/Type field contains a length value. It's generally assumed to be an LLC PDU, but the assumption doesn't seem to be backed by the standard. So I wonder whether it's a shortcoming of the standard or IEEE really meant it. Of course, it can be speculated that a sender and recipient can agree upon the data type in advance and choose LLC or whatever, but it wasn't the way other IEEE standards followed. E.g., 802.4 explicitly mentioned the LLC PDU. Any ideas?
