So the frames start with:

	a 6-octet Ethernet destination address;

	a 6-octet Ethernet source address;

	a 2-octet type/length field with a value <= 1500, indicating that its value is a length rather than an Ethernet type?

If so, what follows the type/length field?  An IEEE 802.2/ISO 8802 LLC header, with a 1-octet DSAP, a 1-octet LSAP, and a control field?  Or something else?
