Subject: Re: IEEE 802.1ag / 802.1x / Y1731

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for sharing this information.
We have decided to use dot1ag utils for 802.1ag. Its a user space
implementation of 802.1ag.

I have a question: is there any development going on for Y.1731 for
linux or freebsd
either as user space application like dot1ag OR network stack
enhancements OR anything else)?

Thanks,
Satendra
