Some vendors inconsistently support these on ethernet-framed interfaces and randomly break their code [again].

The one I am aware of is located on Tasman, and YMMV varies depending on what line of business synced code from whom 
and when.

Nothing like upgrading a minor patch revision of software and losing your infrastructure link....
