Today its a special show focussing SPB – Shortest Path Bridging. The not quite finished, any day now, IEEE standard to offers a successor to Q-in-Q bridging and delivers L2 mulitpath technology. After a fine rant by Greg on a blog post Rant: Why SPB Doesn’t Get Any Attention, some members of the SPN group got in touch by the comments. Lets talk it out.
Show Notes.
- Shortest Path Bridging – IEEE Standard 802.1aq
- PBB provider backbone bridging – SPBM (MAC-in-MAC)
- SPBV – VLAN – regular ethernet (Q-in-Q)
- Discussion how VEPA & VEB could readily replace vSwitch in VMware.
- Some discussion the “openness” of the IEEE (even though they hide all their proceedings and documentation)

Hello – many of the relevant links do not work.
Very possible, as this show dates back to 2011. It appears you work for Avaya – do you have some recommended updates? In the meantime, we’ll see if we can clean up this list. Thanks!
Perhaps this one would be of interest
