There are standards, they just aren't relevant. 802.11(n) specifies 7935 bytes (A-MSDU), 802.3(as) specifies "frame envelope" at 2000 bytes. (The latter is to have room for encapsulation headers to be able to deliver 1500 regardless of encap.)
- zamadatix 4y ago802.11 isn't Ethernet (though does have a larger frame size) and A-MSDU in particular standardizes aggregation of multiple MAC frames not an extension of the MAC frame. However larger frame envelopes are definitely a standardized thing for Ethernet but the IEEE folks will fight to the death it's a separate concept as you say.
