  3. Cisco Inter-Switch Link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Inter-Switch_Link

    A VLAN ID is added only if the frame is forwarded out a port configured as a trunk link. If the frame is to be forwarded out a port configured as an access link, the ISL encapsulation is removed. The size of an Ethernet encapsulated ISL frame can be expected to start from 94 bytes and increase up to 1548 bytes because of the overhead ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Redundancy_Protocol

    Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is a data network protocol standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 62439-2. It allows rings of Ethernet switches to overcome any single failure with recovery time much faster than achievable with Spanning Tree Protocol. [1] It is suitable to most industrial Ethernet applications.
