RE: IEEE 802.1 WG liaison letter to the IETF

[Lucy Yong <lucyyong@huawei.com>]

All,

In 66th IETF meeting, there is an intention to send a liaison letter to IEEE
regarding what control plane could control/manage in Ethernet data plane. 

This liaison from IEEE clearly states that IEEE has not examined MAC address
encapsulation in conjunction with VLAN tagging, thus this is not accepted
now.
It also clearly states that using two VLAN tags simultaneously is not
allowed.

Hence, now, standard Ethernet data plane bridge/switch based on MAC or VLAN
only. 
Do we still need a liaison to IEEE?

Regards,
Lucy

Hi,

Those of you working on GELS stuff may find material in this liaison (which 
will inevitably also get posted on the IETF site).
