 PSARC 2007/596: RBridges: Routing Bridges
 Submitter:	James Carlson
 Owner:		NONE
 
 Issues for inception (12/12/2007):
 
 kb-01   The crossbow project is exposing a MAC client API for adding extra
         packet receivers (such snoop instances) and sumit packets for
         transmission at the MAC level (not DLS, which is being removed from
         the datapath). RBridges should communicate with to the Crossbow
 	project to see if the MAC client API is sufficient for RBriges needs.
