93 * and also note separately that up to _256_ ports can be meshed together

99 * mention only VLAN tagging, and not Port Stamping in the port tagging
102 * VSS Monitoring has apparently never released a product with 2 byte
103 * port stamps, and it seems going forward that port stamping is going
104 * to be deprecrated in favor of VLAN tagging.
106 * So by default we'll assume port stamps are 1 byte, with 2 bytes
107 * port stamps supported via preference (disabled by default.)
109 * This means a trailer length must not be more than 14 bytes,
112 * must not be 3 modulo 4 (as it can't have both a 1-byte
113 * and a 2-byte port stamp);
115 * can only be either 1 or 2 module 4, depending on the size
116 * of port stamp we accept;
118 * if it's less than 8 bytes, must not be 0 modulo 4 (as
119 * it must have a 1-byte or 2-byte port stamp, given that
120 * it has no timestamp).
