Hi
In revision 101 label got re-added under StpType, which fits with what we
agreed with on the call as far as I can remember. However sourceVLAN and
destVLAN still exists in the EthernetVlanType. Is there a reason for this,
or did we just forgot to take them out.
Further is there a reason to keep EthernetVlanType around? If one wants a
VLAN, one just specifies a label and if one wants plain ethernet, no label
should be specified (right?).
We also have some discrepency between NML and STPs. A Port/PortGroup in
NML can only have a single label, which has a single value. Our StpType
can have multiple labels. Furthermore a label can have multiple values,
which confuses me a bit, but it might be related to the next issue.
Overqualifying labels is something that isn't really documented anywhere
AFAICT. In NML we specify ranges with "start-end" and AFAIK, can also be
comma-seperated. In NSI I reckon we should do the same when
overqualifying, and only have a single value in the label. Furthermore we
should have it written down... somewhere... how to overqualify a label
with the "start-end" semantics.
