Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2013 20:40:12 -0500 (EST) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: david.ward@...mit.edu Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (IEEE 802.1Q-2011) From: David Ward <david.ward@...mit.edu> Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2013 22:17:05 -0500 > The Linux kernel currently implements the GARP VLAN Registration > Protocol (GVRP) from IEEE 802.1Q-1998 (applicant-only participant). > When the GVRP flag is set for a VLAN interface on a Linux host, the > host advertises its membership in the VLAN to the attached bridge/ > switch, so that it is not necessary to manually configure the bridge/ > switch port to participate in the VLAN. > > GVRP has been superseded by the Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol > (MVRP) in IEEE 802.1Q-2011, which addresses scalability concerns about > the earlier protocol. The following patches add support for MVRP to > the Linux kernel and iproute2 utility. They are based largely off of > the existing implementation of GVRP, but have been modified for the > new PDU structure and state machine. > > This implementation was tested with two Juniper EX4200 switches. > > Signed-off-by: David Ward <david.ward@...mit.edu> > Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net> Applied to net-next, thanks David. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
