If we do that, I'd like to propose also that ports be limited to one MAC. Obviously, this wouldn't apply to ports between (any combination of) MICE Switches and Remote Switches. The Amsterdam Internet exchange is using L2ACLs for this with great success. Here'd be an example of what this would look like (with * marking ports limited to 1 MAC): +-------------+ | MICE Switch |--- 1G * ipHouse +-------------+ |Stacking | | Link +----- 1G * TDS | +-------------+ | MICE Switch |--- 10G * UMN +-------------+ |10G | | +--------- 10G * Akamai | +--------------------+ | Mankato Networks | | MICE Remote Switch | +--------------------+ <-------- MICE's authority ends here |1G |1G |1G |* |* |* +--------------------+ | BBV Wiktel Vaultas | | | | Mankato Networks | | non-MICE Switch | +--------------------+ For now, we'd treat the CNS switch as a MICE Switch (since it's loaned to MICE), but if that changed, then it might be another example of a Remote Switch.
