Re: What is the standard ethernet frame type?

[ioannis@flinet.com]

 The information you are looking for should be in the Host 
 Requirements RFC -I think this is also a debian package in doc.

 For 10Mbits/sec Ethernet cable, this was the policy for a host few years
 ago and propably it is still in effect:


 1. Must be able to send and receive packets using rfc 894(Ethernet) 
    encapsulation.

 2. Should be able to receive rfc1042(ieee 802) packets intermixed with
    rfc894 packets.
 
 3. May be able to send packets using rfc1042 encapsulation. If the host can
    send both types of packets, the type of packet must be configurable and
    the configuration option must default to rfc894 packets.
