I think Derek's explanation shows that the specification allows the /10 behavior. Also, I suspect that since Derek works for Cisco, some "other implementations" behave how he describes. :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
