Does anyone know if IBM or somebody has donated 802.5 functional addresses
for the ALL_INTERMEDIATE_SYSTEMS, ALL_END_SYSTEMS, ALL_L1_ISs amd ALL_L2_ISs
multicast MAC addresses of ISO 9542 (ES-IS) and ISO 10589 (IS-IS)?

I've heard that NIST Implementors workshop was trying to get these nailed
down, but don't know if they have done so?

How are people running CLNP over 802.5 now? Are you using broadcast MAC
addresses for these multicasts? The chipsets only support 1 multicast!
