This document describes a mechanism to achieve device isolation
through the application of special Layer 2 forwarding constraints.
Such a mechanism allows end devices to share the same IP subnet while
being Layer 2 isolated, which in turn allows network designers to
employ larger subnets and so reduce the address management overhead.
Some of the numerous deployment scenarios of the aforementioned
mechanism (which range from data center designs to
Ethernet-to-the-home-basement networks) are mentioned in the following text
to exemplify the mechanism's possible usages; however, this document
is not intended to cover all such deployment scenarios nor delve into their
details. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it
is published for informational purposes.
