This proposal, presented by Mark Hamilton of Spectralink, addresses challenges encountered in the current tagging methods defined in the IEEE 802.1Q protocol. Ongoing work on P802.1Qbz and P802.11ak has revealed the inadequacies of the existing scheme for managing VLAN tags over LLC media, particularly 802.11. The presentation outlines a simpler alternative solution for consideration by members, drawing from earlier works and emphasizing efficiency in tag translation processes. The goal is to enhance the networking capabilities for improved communication on wireless systems.

Abstract • Work now in progress on P802.1Qbz and P802.11ak has shown that the method currently defined in IEEE 802.1Q for adding and removing tags (e.g., the VLAN tag) to frames on LLC media (e.g., 802.11) is untenable. A new scheme has been proposed in P802.1Qbz Draft 1.3 for use by P802.11ak. • This presentation contains an alternative solution proposal. Mark Hamilton, Spectralink
