The IEEE registry shows this Ethertype as being allocated to Wind
River Systems. Do we know that Wind River Systems has further
allocated that to be used for network conformance testing? If not, I
fear we could end up causing problems down the road.
Guess who worked at Wind River and got that allocated :-)
I am going to dig through my old mail archives from WR days and get the
IEEE to move it, since, clearly, not one kept the thing up after I left.
That address is over a decade out of date, and Wind River no longer
exists, as Intel bought them several years ago.
Best,
George
