Chetan>> Even i feel that they should be moved to Appendix (but not
deleted altogether).
Chetan>> Some more topics like Provider Bridges(802.1ad), Customer Edge
Spanning Tree or even Ethernet OAM can be included.
Chetan>> Also, can be included a note/your vision on, which way the
ethernet is headed for. What is the focus of development these days in
L2 domain. Chetan>> From Link aggregation point of view, more detailed explanation
of all sorts of priorities (Aggregate: Actor System Priority, Partner
System Priority, Port Actor System Prioirity, Port Partner System Priority, Port Priority etc). What is the practical usage of these priorities. Something related to Multicast traffic/IPTV on linkaggregation can be explored in the book. I am not sure if you would like these suggestions, but these were the difficult areas i faced when i worked with LACP. Chetan>> I do not have access to the book right now, so i am basing my
comments based on when i read the book about 2-3 months back. So i am
not able to provide all the things i thought.felt when i was going through the book. >
