RE: IEEE 802.1 WG liaison letter to the IETF

["Nurit Sprecher" <nurit.sprecher@SeabridgeNetworks.com>]

This liaison was imitated by the IEEE intentionally to address the same
question that  we wanted to ask the IEEE. 
The liaison clearly states that (currently) the only standard behavior
is the 12-bit VID translation, and the IETF should now focus on the
12-bit label encoding technique for GELS.
Regards,
Nurit.

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).
