They defined ethernet. It is they who would best determine how to
carry ethernet over another protocol and keep current ethernet
correctness.
To be more specific, if anything the IEEE would want to do to carry
Ethernet over IP would require modifications to protocols which the IETF
feels protective about, the work should be done under the auspices of
the IETF. They should give us requirements -- we know our protocols
better than they do.
Certainly - IF there are MODS to IP or other IETF protocols. So far, all
I've noticed are mods to the semantics of Ethernet.
