All,

I've been mulling this over.

How about the LID length MUST be the same as the MAC, so it's up to the
advertiser of the LID to bit pack?

This seems to work with existing use cases, and avoids the need for LID
length negotiation.  The only down-side I can see is that 2^48 LIDs is
a common maximum, but that seems plenty currently.

Thoughts?

Rick
