RE: Layer 2 Switching Caps LSPs

[Shahram Davari <Shahram_Davari@pmc-sierra.com>]

Hi,

The only issue that I have is with VLAN switching. Since VLAN switching
is not a standard 802.1Q behavior, it can't be used with existing Ethernet
hardware. Therefore the scope of this draft is not limited to control-plane,
and requires new data-plane that is not defined in IEEE yet.

If the VLAN switching is removed from the draft, I support accepting it as
a WG draft.

Yours,
-Shahram
