I like that a lot..... I have to ask a real dumb question though....
Where specifically would you need to convert canonical to non-canonical and
vice versa. What's a lab senario where I would apply a filter that involves
me converting the MAC. I have the understanding (I know it's wrong or we
wouldn't be discussing an easy way to do this) that the router does all these
conversions internally.
So, please help a poor sap that is very backwards on when it comes to this
stuff!
