If we were to rework the naming, something like ... 1) parent 1: classid 1:2 2) parent 1:2 classid 1:2:5 3) parent 1:2:5 classid 1:2:5:8 ... would make more sense. The numbering scheme currently in place makes very little sense and is quite wasteful of the number-space it uses (not that it matters much to most people). If the above were used, 'parent' would become quite unnecessary of course. -- Michael T. Babcock CTO, FibreSpeed Ltd.
