Has anybody considered lobbying the IEEE to do a point to point version of Ethernet to gets rid of addressing fields? Assuming an average 1024 byte packet size, on a 10Gbps link they're wasting 100+ Mbps. 100GE / 1TE starts to make it even more worth doing.
If you're lobbying to have the IEEE do something intelligent to Ethernet why don't you start with a freaking standardization of jumbo frames. The lack of a real standard and any type of negotiation protocol for two devices under different administrative control are all but guaranteeing end to end jumbo frame support will never be practical. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
