Guang -

If I understand you correctly, then what you mean by "partialdeployment"is a link with multiple switches, some of which are SAVI-capable, someof

which are legacy.

Why do you think such a scenario would be problematic?  Assuming that
SAVI devices allow multiple source addresses per port, then it should be
possible for a port to extent to a link segment with legacy switches and
multiple hosts.

Am I missing something?
