Requested revision
Standard: | 802.1AC-2016 | Clause: | 2 |
Clause title: | Normative references |
Rationale for revision
IEEE Std 802.1D is being withdrawn and a number of references in this
standard
require maintenance; either deletion, replacement with 802.1Q or
modification.
The technical functionality of IEEE Std 802.1D has been completely subsumed
by IEEE Std 802.1Q.
Proposed text
1. Clause 2, page 14 - delete the normative reference, and add to the Bibliography instead (Annex A)
2. Clause 11, page 26 - delete the reference
3. Clause 11.1, page 27 - replace "Annex F of IEEE Std 802.1D-2004" with "Annex O of IEEE Std 802.1Q-2018"
4. Clause 11.1, Note 4, page 28 - replace the reference of IEEE Std 802.1D to a bibliography reference (e.g. IEEE Std 802.1D[B5])
5. Clause 14.2, Note 2, page 42 - replace the reference of IEEE Std 802.1D to a bibliography reference (e.g. IEEE Std 802.1D[B5])
Note: the notes with 802.1D referenced are providing a historical perspective and shall be left in 802.1AC, but the reference will be to a Bibliography entry, not a Normative reference.
Impact on existing networks
Since IEEE Std 802.1D is completely subsumed by IEEE Std 802.1Q, there is
no expected impact on existing networks.
