I remember back in the NSFnet days, the IBM router's ethernet interface
supported DIX, 802.3/SNAP and 802.3... We even had a bug where one of
the formats gave odd-boundary frames, and the Intel596 Ethernet chips
were not too happy about it ....

I never see or heard any product use 802.3 LLC frame format to carry IP
packet. But I am not sure I am correct. Does anyone knows that some
product
does use the LLC frame to carry IP packets and why?
Older HP-UX (300 & 400 series) systems could do this.
