Today I attended a seminar by David Clark about the network environment at
MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science.  One of the points made was that
although Chaos and TCP/IP may have different camps, it's a relief to know
that you can run both protocols on the same piece of Ethernet cable.  And
then Jerry Saltzer drops the bomb and says that the new IEEE802 standard
that started off with Ethernet has replaced the protocol type field in the
Ethernet frame with a length field !

My question is:

		How can anybody be so brain-damaged ????
