I hate to admit this, but I don't know diddly about the new 802 LLC frame
format.  Is there an RFC or some document on sri-nic that describes this
format?  If not, what texts contains such a description?

The reason I ask is because devices on our net use the old dst/src/type
format and now some of the newer devices are using the dst/src/len/llc
and I can't make heads or tails of what these new devices are "saying".

What is the `correct' way to refer to dst/src/type (IEEE 802.?) ?
The `correct' way to refer to dst/src/len/llc (IEEE 802.3)?  

Thanks in advance.
