Talk:IEEE 802.1ad-2005


 * There should be information on "how to to" 802.1ad. Regards.

What?
This article seems to be too technical. I'm not a layperson, but even I am having issues understanding the bulk of this article. --smadge1 (talk) 01:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Needs Major Work
Problems that need to be fixed: 1) IMHO I recommend dropping the -2005 from the title, and making a note of it in the article. 2) The article needs a better introduction and supporting links for a person who wants all the background. 3) The diagram shows ethertypes of 9100 and 9200 for 802.1ad. This is incorrect.  Should be 88A8. 4) No mention of the handling of L2 protocol packets, which is a major part of the standard. 5) A lot of other things I don't have time to mention now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shmelyova (talk • contribs) 03:30, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Redundant?
Should this article be merged with 802.1QinQ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.251.201.70 (talk) 22:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree this article needs to be merged to prevent any kind of confusion / redundancy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.55.37 (talk) 15:37, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I disagree, this article is actually incorrect as it stands now. The picture shows the wrong Ethertype, and there is no mention of the difference between values used for inner or outer tags in some deployments. Also, QinQ was the older standard, and is superseded by the 802.1ad work, this should remain separate and should be clarified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lylavoie (talk • contribs) 15:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I support the merge. I don't see a problem fitting this all into one article. Keeping it as separate articles does not give readers perspective on the different solutions, evolution and history. --Kvng (talk) 21:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I support the merge with 802.1QinQ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitulsid (talk • contribs) 19:13, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I Support the merge. It is not necessary to be here.... --Kusumba (talk) 05:18, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

The merge should be the other way around. Any useful information from QinQ should be moved to this page and the QinQ page re-directed here. Rednectar.chris (talk) 01:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * ✅ There appeared to be consensus to merge so I did the merge to 802.1QinQ. If that is not the correct destination/title for the article, please start a discussion at Talk:802.1QinQ. --Kvng (talk) 21:46, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
