title: DIX vs 802.3 Link Layer explanation
body: <p>My question pertains to DIX (Ethernet II) and Ethernet: what is the link layer difference, if any? I don't see the link layer in the standard lists, but when doing, for instance, a pcap capture I see that wireshark will frame them differently (I'm not going to post pcap, but I'm sure the standards are posted).
