Systemd Picks Up Support For MACsec To Better Secure Ethernet Connections
I see that last timeout that you got has not improved your attitude at all. You are still as anti-social as ever. What you get for drinking burnt coffee.
A few years ago we looked at this. Perhaps nice to have BUT, high overhead, especially on VOIP traffic (small packets). If I recall correctly, only cisco had it implemented, so it's basically just switch to switch. Ok, it does multi and broad-cast, but...
I guess having it as an option is a good thing (whether in bloatware like systemd or an individual suite of programs matters not). Anyone implementing it ought look at the overheads for this protocol - it's a LAN capacity muncher.
