Also, as a note, the 802.1Q is capitalized (ratified) the 802.1s is not
yet. :)

Subtle, but important differences! To someone anyway!

Happy Holidays!

you wrote:
Especially as VLAN features increasingly are standardized, it's worth
knowing the IEEE equivalents to some Cisco features. We may very well
see the proprietary things deprecated, just as ISL was deprecated in
favor of IEEE 802.3q. (in fairness, ISL still had some advantages
until 802.3s and some other standards were introduced).

Thanks for providing that interesting document on your ftp site. I admit
I'm a bit rusty on my IEEE specs so pardon me if this question sounds
really ignorant. But did you mean "1" instead of "3" above, as in 802.1q
and 802.1s? Or perhaps I'm missing something (wouldn't be the first
time!)

Thank you for clarifying.
