Requested revision
Standard:802.1Q-2014Clause:2
Clause title:Normative References
Rationale for revision
IEEE Std 802.17 has been withdrawn.
Proposed text
Remove reference to 802.17 in clause 2. Remove MAC-802.17 item from A.6. For ieee8021BridgeAccessPriorityGroup in 17.7.2, retain the capability to support MACs providing native Access Priority. Perhaps remove the "e.g., IEEE 802.17". Retain ieee8021BridgeRegenPriorityGroup to support MACs which provide native priority but perhaps remove "e.g., IEEE Std 802.17". For ieee8021BridgePortOutboundAccessPriorityTable in 17.7.2, we could either retain the capability of regenerating outbound access priorities and perhaps remove the "e.g., 802.17", or deprecate the relevant objects from the MIB.
Impact on existing networks
Existing 802.17 networks would not be able to claim conformance to the resulting revision of 802.1Q.
