Message-ID: <511BF430.8050809@navigue.com> Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:14:40 -0500 From: Jonathan Thibault <jonathan@...igue.com> To: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@...hat.com> CC: "bridge@...ts.linux-foundation.org" <bridge@...ts.linux-foundation.org>, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [Bridge] [PATCH v10 net-next 00/12] VLAN filtering/VLAN aware bridge This is just a little note to chime in my enthusiasm over these features. I've been silently wishing for them for years, so most formal thanks to you for the work you put in.
