Stephen,
Can you tell me how you did the trick in code? From what you said that max of limit only can be 1023, 6000 is not doable, right?
Regards!

Spanning tree protocol has limit on the protocol of 16 bits for port_id.
originally 8 bits were for priority and 8 bits were for port number,
but I added the cheat that vendors were using of using 2 bits of
priority
for port number.
