RE: DLSw reachability; Ethernet MAC addresses

Could you imagine how annoying an 80 character screen would be if all of the
netflow was expanded to decimal.

What about troubleshooting a mainframe application where the connection is
coming from non-canonical address X and you are looking at the endpoint but
can't find X because it is displayed in canonical format.

It all depends on what you are doing at the time.
