RE: IEEE 802.1 WG liaison letter to the IETF

Hi Nurit 

It is true that the data plane 12-bit S-VID translation is part of
standards, but then so is using a VID/MAC as a static configured path
known as PBT. 

However in order to have the above schemes work with the existing
Ethernet control plane enabled at a minimum partitioning of the VID
space, turning of broadcast and other linkages between the Ethernet
control plane still need to be standardized. We have discussed all this
before.

Regards,
Don
