Added, and added you to the 'thanks to' list. Thanks!

It is a little bit outdated I fear. Only the parts about cisco is
interesting, the remainder can be found in the manual pages. There is
no good MTU faq. There is no description of the frameformat etc...
It is in the kernel since 2.4.14, and is supported by debian.
Just apt-get install vlan, and you are on your way. Besides that, the
debian packaging uses normal /etc/network/interfaces settings to use it.
Anyway:
You are right in including everything good and networking. But then it
should actually be called linux advanced networking :) (LAN).
Important points to add:
- New bonding (bonding.sf.net) has entered stable kernel
- LVS (linux-virtual-server.org)
- New bridgeing (bridge.sf.net)
But I fear it will divert to much from the original point.
Bert, what about LAN, including the lartc, the lowlevel stuff,
and other hot but apparently separate topics?

The cisco bit is useful - Linux is not an island!

Cool. But that is probably debian unstable?

That's how you should read LARTC - its not just routing.

No it won't. LVS and new bridgeing are both mentioned in the HOWTO, the
bonding isn't. LVS has fine documentation of itself and only needs to be
mentioned. The new bridgeing code might need some more content in the HOWTO.
I would be very happy if somebody could to a writeup of the new bonding
code.
I don't see how that diverts anything too much. Volunteers welcome!
Regards,
bert

But it soon will be :).
One *BIG* island with only linux :).
Imagine those cisco's running linux instead of IOS...
Then you can actually do something ;)

Dunno.
It has been there for a long time, so I guess some of it should be
testing already.

Yes. I've noticed that...

It is getting very interesting right now. It contains not only link
monitoring, but also arp monitoring (in other words: is the link actually
usable).

Sigh... If only there were volunteers with time :)...
