I am involved in planning a campus-wide IEEE 802.3/802.2 based network.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how IP datagrams will appear on this
type of network?  From what I understand there are two possibilities:

1) Avoid 802.2 and use the 802.3 length field as a type field
2) Strictly adhere to 802.2/802.3 standards using the length field
   as a length field and use the 802.2 SSAP/DSAP for the type field.

Which of these methods is going to become the standard?
