My understanding is that ethernet packets can have some extra tag attached to them in addition to the 48-bit identifier. What are some standards documents for VLANs? I think it would be interesting for FreeBSD to be able to work with VLANs. Possibly an extra option to ifconfig and a little bit of kernel work would do the job.
