If you're going to cite it, "802.3ad" is now dead. The relevant bits have been folded into IEEE 802.3 itself -- I think that happened with -2002. We're now up to 802.3-2005. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
