The China NB comments on IEEE 802.1AEbn-2011
require a response
China NB comment
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-1AE:2013/FDAmd1 is based on IEEE 802.1x-2010
which was opposed by China NB in FDIS voting phase because of
security problems. By now, these security problems in IEEE 802.1x-2010
still exist. We oppose the two standards based on IEEE 802.1x because
of the security problems.
China NB proposed change
• We propose to delete the references of IEEE 802.1X-2010
