Even when the frames are expanded, the expansion is properly considered part of the payload and not part of the Ethernet headers. VLANs and RBridges are different in that respect. Expanded frames for PPPoE generally requires "traditional" jumbogram support. Oh how I wish PPPoE would just go away. :-< -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
