Re: Ethertype for long LLC frames

| Body |
Colleagues, IEEE 802.1 has recently published IEEE Std 802.1AC-2016. In this standard, an EtherType for encoding LLC frames longer than 1500 bytes on IEEE Std 802.3 media is defined. Its use appears to be exactly as described in draft-ietf-isis-ext-eth-01. In developing 802.1AC, we wanted to use the same EtherType as in draft-ietf-isis-ext-eth-01 (88-70), but we were unable to determine the current owner of that EtherType, so were unable to obtain permission to standardize it. Therefore, we used the EtherType C9-D1. Please note that frames longer than 2000 bytes are non-conformant with IEEE Std 802.3. Best regards, Glenn Parsons, Chair IEEE 802.1 Working Group (glenn.parsons@ericsson.com) |
