  Fellow Netters.
  
    I am trying to find out about implementing tcp/ip over 802.3.
Now I understand that there is an rfc 1042 which talks about it and the
llc problems so I am trying  to get that over the net but In the meantime
i am having some trouble exactly understanding the purpose of 802.2. 
802.2 seems to support flow control and some sort of subnetting could any
of you folks give me a reason for why it exists? 
thanks a lot
Pat
   P.S. God I love reading those ISO documents.
