--- Comment #2 from Layer8 <i.c.h@will-hier-weg.de> ---
Thanks for reqly, Zhenlei Huang.

The assumption that only old devices which are End of Life use non 802.1AD
compliant Ethertypes is unfortunately not correct.=20

Because I dont know every switch OS on the market, I cant tell how many
Switch-OS use non compliant QinQ Ethertypes. But:

I personally work with Dell Power Switch switches which have Dell OS6
installed. This is a switch OS from Dell, which is old and matured, but sti=
ll
under development. I was invited to a Dell event in the end of 2022 where t=
he
have shown a roadmap. According to this information, they are not planning =
to
end support or development of this OS, because its the default Switch OS on
Dell Access Level switches which is included if you buy a Dell Switch (they
also support some other Open Network Operating Systems).=20

This is the user guide of the last last major version of Dell OS6 v6.8:=20

https://dl.dell.com/content/manual20646349-dell-networking-n-series-switche=
s-user-guide-version-6-8-0.pdf?language=3Den-us

On page 677 you will find the information, that they are still using 9100 f=
or Q
in Q.

The last update is 6.8.1.3 from August 24 2023.=20

They still release new switch series which are supported by OS6 (the last is
the N3200E switch series which was released 2022).
