what about 48 bits?

Hi, Lots of traffic recently about 64 bits being too short or too long. What about mac addresses? Aren't they close to exhaustion? Should be. Or it is assumed that mac addresses are being widely reused throughout the world? All those low cost switches and wifi adapters DO use unique mac addresses

BER performance on fiber links

Hi all, What is the bit error rate that can be expected from a modern hi capacity mostly optical point to point circuits ? 10 E-7 would be too conservative or too agressive? What if the "circuit" is in fact Ethernet LAN to LAN transport? How many frames can one expect to be discarded due to lin

Re: Restrictions on Ethernet L2 circuits?

otocols have a degree of TRUST on LAN traffic. Any security expert will tell you that trust is your enemy. Managing a router is a hassle? Oh, come on! If a net admin is unable to manage a simple sub net configuration and so some simple math with masks and prefixes he would rather find himself another job. Take care, A.B. Jr.
