   Hello   
      
   I hear that priority-tagged frames, i.e. frames having 0x8100 ethertype AND   
   valan id equal to 0, are considered untagged from the VLAN-aware bridge   
   perspective. however I could find exact wording on this in the standard   
   802.1q-2005. Could anyone help me with this and point at the   
   section/paragraph discussing this?   
      
   Also, am I right that a vlan-aware bridge makes a decision whether teh frame   
   is tagged or untagged, solely on TPID field value and doesn't take into   
   consideration vlan id vallue (priority tagged frames are the only exception)   
   ?   
      
   Thanks!
