In this discussion, the contributors have been talking about
"portfast" as if it was a well defined thing. Every switch
vendor I've looked at has something similar and they don't
all behave the same. Some vendors merely shorten the listen
and learn periods rather than eliminate them altogether. We
found that on some Bay/Nortel switches, portfast was not
fast enough for some Macs. YMMV.
