The following reply was made to PR kern/74861; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Yar Tikhiy <yar@comp.chem.msu.su> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, joe@tao.org.uk Cc: Subject: Re: kern/74861: Support to ISL VLANS? Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 17:22:05 +0300 I'm afraid that this PR is doomed. 5 years ago I worked for an academic network operations centre, where we ran ISL in FreeBSD using a homebrew implementation based on vlan(4). Later, after I had got my commit bit, I wrote a mail to Cisco asking if they would like to relicense the ISL spec so that it could be implemented in open-source products. I got an apparently negative reply. I still have working ISL code, but alas, I cannot make it public due to restrictive nature of Cisco's license on ISL. -- Yarhelp
