I'm afraid that this PR is doomed. 5 years ago I worked for an
academic network operations centre, where we ran ISL in FreeBSD
using a homebrew implementation based on vlan(4). Later, after I
had got my commit bit, I wrote a mail to Cisco asking if they would
like to relicense the ISL spec so that it could be implemented in
open-source products. I got an apparently negative reply.
I still have working ISL code, but alas, I cannot make it public
due to restrictive nature of Cisco's license on ISL.
