If you are monitoring a trunk link with many VLANs you are basically
seeing all the traffic plus the VLAN tags
I'm dealing quite a lot with VLANs in an enterprise environment and the
part I'm not getting here is the "hopping VLANs" part.
mh, I think we need to talk about this in person at Brucon. One problem
might be me not being a native speaker.
.....and sorry for mistaking you for Paul  :-)
