RE: [802.1] P802.1b/D0

["Romascanu, Dan (Dan)" <dromasca@avaya.com>]

You are absolutely correct. The very last paragraph of the document is in contradiction with the CLR, and I intent to make a comment on this subject. However, I would like to have some ammunition on this respect - is there any Internet-Draft documenting this?

Also, if there are other CLRs that need to be brought to the attention of the IEEE 802.1 WG, I would be glad to be the messenger. (Les can do this as well).

Regards,

Dan
