[SI-LIST] GbE LLC/SNAP

I apologise for being a bit off-topic, but I don't know where else to ask 
questions about current implementations
of Gigabit Ethernet.  
Does anybody know of an email reflector for current 1 Gig and 10 Gig Ethernet 
developers?

I am working with Gigabit Ethernet serial links and I am wondering about the 
variety of ethernet packet formats.  
The latest version of IEEE 802.3 seems to have dropped support for the 
802.2/802 LLC/SNAP frame format,
and the LLC/SNAP standards have elapsed (have not been updated in over 5 years).

Can anyone comment on this, can I assume that new developement work therefore 
has no LLC/SNAP packets?

Or do old ethernet frame formats never die?

Sincerely,

Paul Taddonio
