Hi Ben, To answer your question, all I observe on the ethereal is as follows: Source Destination 51.1.2.2 51.1.20.2 51.1.2.2 51.1.20.2 Now when I click on one of them I see a packet with VLAN Tag but when I click on the second one I see exactly the same packet(same seq number, SSRC, and Timestamp) but without a Tag(i.e. without .1q). From this I deduce it's the same packet but sent differently. Not sure whether it's actually sent twice or once simply once but one of them is stripped off .1q Any Comments?

Are you sure it's being sent twice, or are you watching the same packet traverse the .1q interface and then the physical interface on the way to the wire?
