Re: Priority Tagging and VLAN Tags

I think I get it now, let me play it back to make sure: to implement
priority rather than use a VLAN identifier of 0 if the station does not
belong to a VLAN, devices would simply drop the frame into a default
VLAN and treat the frame as a VLAN tagged frame with priority. Right?

That clicks with my brain a bit more for some reason.

Thanks! (for the answer and for writing the book)
