Hi Adam,
I think you're correct -- it depends on the business model.
If your customers CE devices will be routers you can make the maximum =
number of
macs correspondingly small, and if they will be switches, you'll have to =
determine what
makes sense for each interface and domain. =20
I think it is a great idea to have limits of some kind on both =
interfaces and domains, to=20
avoid problems with misbehaving hardware or software bugs.
HTHs,
Dave
