Use of ethernetCsmacd to identify 802.3 interfaces #1

Open mjethanandani opened 8 years ago

mjethanandani commented 8 years ago

IANA has defined types of interfaces which include CSMA/CD type interfaces. But most ethernet type interfaces do not use CSMA/CD any more. Would it be appropriate to rename this to ethernet8023 interface or something similar to that?

if http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2015/new-parsons-URN-Namespace-PAR-0915.pdf goes through, I suspect that we might want to have something more generic, i.e., ieee802 and then have sub-hierarchy built underneath for specific interface types (for wired 802.3 interfaces, wireless 802.11 interfaces, etc.) These would need to be distinguishable.

This is somewhat related to issue #2. As agreed there, we will leave the iana definition as is, and define more ethernet specific types in the ethernet module.
