I am confused about which Ethernet frame type everyone uses with TCP/IP
today. I understand that there are four different types. I see from the
Cisco website that they talk about only two of these four. The two they
discuss are called Ethernet and IEEE 802.3. The one Cisco calls Ethernet has
the following fields

        Preamble
        Destination Address
        Source Address
        Type
        Data
        CRC

The one Cisco calls IEEE 802.3 has

        Preamble
        Start Frame Delimiter
        Destination Address
        Source Address
        Length
        Data and 802.2 Header inside the data area as best I can tell
        CRC

Why do they mention these two only? Who uses what?
