(a) Ethernet standards were originally developed by Xerox with several other companies. IEEE later developed the 802.3 standard with a few changes.
(i) How does the data carried in the Type and Data fields for Ethernet differ from that of IEEE 802.3?
(ii) Would a station implementing Ethernet be able to communicate with a station implementing IEEE 802.3?
(iii) Can the two implementations co-exist on the same local area network?
