Does someone recall where the introduced size limit for ...AllowedToGoTo
object comes from?  The port index is restricted to 65535 and from that
perspective the upper boundary would be 8K and not 512 bytes (which 
is equivalent to a maximum of 4096 ports). Can some IEEE 802.1 expert
please explain this?
