To: P8021 From: Steve Horowitz Date: 25 Jun 96 10:16:15 Subject: Priority Bits & First on the wire question As proposed in the Lynnfield interim, the IEEE 802.1 frame format for VLANs was expanded to include possibly 3 bits for priority. My question about this proposal is: Are the 3 priority bits of that byte the first on the wire? Here is the specific proposal as drawn on the slide: Bits 15-13 : Priority Bits Bits 12-0: VLAN ID Is Bit 15 the first on the wire, or is Bit 8? Thanks - Steve
