		+	== Split coverage of Experimental Ethernet to a separate page? ==
		+
		+	For historical reasons in the content creation, the Experimental Ethernet is covered here, along with the DIX Ethernet. Should we move the former to [[Experimental Ethernet]]? If so, should DIX Ethernet content be moved to [[DIX Ethernet]]? [[Ethernet]] could not become simply a disambiguation page, as there is some material which is shared between the two - e.g. they both use CSMA-CD - and that should not be duplicated (something which I generally abhor - "In anything at all, perfection has been attained not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away".)
		+
		+	I dunno; looking at it, there's not much to move to [[Experimental Ethernet]]. Maybe it's good the way it is? [[User:Jnc\|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc\|talk]]) 14:55, 31 December 2022 (CET)
