Others use tunnels, PPPoE or lots of scripting, so certainly something can be done about it. To my knowledge, SAVI SEND is still at a similar stage. Pointers to vendor documentation would be appreciated if this is not the case. And SAVI SEND is not the full story---it's still missing unicast flood protection. _____ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
