I'm trying to build a fully IEEE 802.1Q-2003-standard compliant bridge. I was delighted about your bridge implementation in the Linux kernel which takes most of the low-layer work from me. (Thanks!) For the higher layer stuff I found (google, your docs) only your STP implementation, so what's missing is GARP(Generic Attribute Registration Protocol, acc. 802.1D/Q), GMRP(GARP Multicast Registration Protocol, acc. 802.1D), GVRP(GARP Vlan Registration Protocol, acc. 802.1Q), MSTP(Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, i.e. one STP instance per forwarding-database (which is a set of vlans), acc. 802.1Q) and the LMMS (LAN/MAN Management Services, used for remote-management (incl. configuration) of bridges acc. to 802.1b and some ISO standard). Is any of those things going on in your project or are you aware of other projects taking care of those matters? (Any helpful link is greatly appreciated.) Thanks.
Moritz
