Link-layer security flaws

Hello everybody, I'm trying to gather some data about link-layer protocol specific attacks and/or security flaws that can be exploited, e.g. Ethernet is prone to sniffing and MAC address spoofing. Most of the stuff I found so far revolves around Eth. sniffing (how to use it, how to detect it, so on and so forth). But what about other types of attacks and/or link-layers (e.g. broadcast-storm based DoS attack? Are Token Ring, FDDI, ISDN, ATM flawless ?) Does anybody have some info about this ? Is the topic superfluous/too general ? Many thanks in advance for any reasonable comment and/or pointers, Florian P.S: Maybe is worth stressing more that I'm looking for vendor and protocol independent info and not specific implementation bugs.
