Hi Thomas,
Just a comment below with respect to the text added to the short C-VLAN
definition.

However, if you really want to have a VLAN bullet in Section 2, then it
has to be clear and unambiguous and it should in fact be a C-VLAN bullet
for the above reasons. I'm making a try to help you on that if you
really want to go for it:
"*C-VLAN: This document refers to C-VLAN as implemented by many routers,
i.e. a L2 virtual network identified by a C-VID. Section 5.3 provides
more details on VLANs defined by [802.1Q].*"
Here is proposed text (it includes some wording from the previous
iteration of this text):
C-VLAN: This document refers to C-VLAN as implemented by many
routers, i.e., an L2 virtual network identified by a C-VID.
C-VIDs are generally associated with end stations (e.g., VMs) at
the network edge. Within an IEEE 802.1Q-2011 network, other tags
may be used as well, but such usage is generally transparent to
the network edge. Section 5.3 provides more details on VLANs
defined by [802.1Q].
If you want to extend the short C-VLAN definition I proposed in the
previous mail, then I'd suggest:
"*C-VLAN: This document refers to C-VLAN as implemented by many routers,
i.e. a L2 virtual network identified by a C-VID. An end station (e.g. a
VM) may belong to a C-VLAN. Section 5.3 provides more details on VLANs
defined by [802.1Q].*"
I tried to address the impreciseness pointed out by Pat.
I'm also afraid of the unambiguity with respect to "transparent" and
"network edge" here so I wouldn't use them. It is just better not to
have the corresponding sentence. (Note that "network edge" may be read
in a paragraph about 802.1 as "edge bridge".)
Hopefull, we are more-or-less converged now!
Yes, we are.
Best regards,
Janos
