Slager" To: p8021@hepnrc.hep.net Subject: June96 resolutions Please find the attached (5) resolutions that were passed in the June 1996 interim meeting of 802.1, (reference vLANs). This is important information. Please read. Thanks, Rosemary - - - - - - - - First (chronologically) resolution: - - - - 802.1 Resolves that: 96/6/6 At the 6/96 interim meeting of 802.1 contributions on the removal of the capability to register priority for individual (unicast) addresses using 802.1p were discussed and seemed to receive widespread support. 802.1 requests comments from its members as ballot comments on 802.1p/D3. Further, 802.1 believes that resolution of ballot comment at the 7/96 Twente meeting is likely to lead to removal of the capability in favor of priority signalling in the 802.1Q vLAN tag. 802.1 invites further comment and contributions on this issue prior* to the Twente meeting. *Distribution to the 802.1 email exploder by 6/28/96 Moved: Keen Second: Hart Y: 29 N: 0 A: 1 - - - - - - - - Second (chronologically) resolution: - - - - 960606d.txt 802.1 resolves that: At the 6/96 interim meeting of 802.1 contributions on the inclusion of a priority field within the vLAN tag and perhaps as 3 bits of the vLAN ID, were discussed. 802.1 wishes to notify all its members of its intent to discuss the structure of the vLAN ID at the 7/96 meeting in Twente, addressing this and other vLAN ID structure issues which have been raised. It is anticipated that a resolution on this urgent issue will be considered in Twente with the objective of establishing a firm basis for further work on 802.1Q. Further it is anticipated that a ballot of a draft of 802.1Q to be produced after the Twente meeting will allow consideration of detailed resolution and text on this issue. 802.1 requests further comment & contribution on this subject prior* to the Twente meeting. *Distribution to the 802.1 Email exploder by 6/28/96.

This issue will be considered at the 7/96 meeting in twente with the intent of reaching preliminary resolution at that meeting, inclusion of the chosen method in a draft of 802.1Q, and confirmation through a working group ballot commencing soon after the twente meeting. 802.1 requests comment & Contribution on the 2 alternatives (or other as yet unidentified interpretations) prior* to the twente meeting. 802.1 requests comment & contribution on the 2 alternatives (or other as yet unidentified interpretations) prior* to the twente meeting. Contributions received will be discussed at the meeting even if the author(s) are unable to attend. *by 6/28 y: 29 n: 0 abstain: 1 - - - - - - - - Fourth (chronologically) resolution: - - - - 960606f.txt 802.1 Resolves that: At the 6/96 interim meeting of 802.1 members of the IETF presented on the subject of ISSLL (Integrated Services over specific lower layers). 802.1 solicits further contributions on the relationship between 802.1/802.x priority mechanisms and the quality of service requirements of the IETF ISSLL. moved: Jeffree 2nd: Chambers y:30 n:0 abstain: 0 - - - - - - - - Fifth (chronologically) resolution: - - - - 960606g.txt Jeffree resolution: editing on 802.1Q 802.1 instructs the editing team for P802.1Q (see attached) to develop the following areas of the document (Details attached), using input from documents & presentations discussed during meetings of 802.1 to date, plus any contributions received by the team.
