Requested revision
Standard:IEEE 802.1Q-2014Clause:8.7.3 and others
Clause title:Ageing of dynamic filtering entries
Rationale for revision
Ageing is spelled ageing in most of the standard (34 instances), but it is spelled aging in Clause 17 (and once in Annex P). This makes it difficult to find the linkage between the MIB objects for aging and the related text in the FDB sections.
Proposed text
Change all instances of "ageing" to "aging" - though there are more of the former, aging is in MIB Object names

If we want to maintain the use of ageing not change MIB object names, at least provide a bridge between them such as mentioning the object name in 8.7.3 or adding a note to indicate that ageing is spelled "aging" in the MIB.
