John: Sorry if I have missed an email. What are your plans for the submitted draft given the expressed concerns on interoperability. compatability and its relationship to IEEE standards. Thanks -Bo Berry A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF. Title : Accommodating an MTU of 1500 in PPPoE Author(s) : J. Fitzgibbon Filename : draft-ietf-pppext-pppoe-mtu-1500-00.txt Pages : 0 Date : 2005-1-28 Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet, (PPPoE), as described in RFC 2516, mandates a maximum negotiated MRU of 1492. This memo proposes relaxing that restriction to allow a maximum negotiated MRU of 1500. This can be achieved by treating the PPPoE Header and Protocol ID as part of the Ethernet Header, taking advantage of the fact that most network devices have buffers for the Ethernet Header and Payload that are at least 1522 octets in size. To aid backward compatability, the proposal recommends testing the link with MRU-sized Echo-Request packets if an MRU greater than 1492 has been assumed or negotiated. _______________________________________________ Pppext mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pppext
