Hi, My main concern about this draft is that I did not feel that it 'does what it says on the box'. When I read the title and abstract, my first thought was that this looks like the standard track version of RFC8799. However, after reading through it, I believe that the main focus is Ethertype-based protocol identifiers, which is a very specific solution. It would be great if the title and abstract would be rephrased to clarify this.
Other comments: - The term 'safe' should probably be defined (or add a reference to where it is defined). - The term 'LAN segment' historically refers to a set of computers connected by Ethernet using CSMA/CD without switches (bridges). I suggest to simply use 'LAN'.
