Why is it significant that the IEEE 802.3 committee decided to make no changes to the actual Ethernet frames when developing faster cabling standards?

What will be an ideal response?


By not changing the actual Ethernet frames when they developed new Ethernet cabling standards, the 802.3 committee ensured that different speeds of Ethernet could interconnect, assuming you had something that could handle the speed differences and a media converter if the connections were different. This standardization ensured communication and scalability.
