At the beginning we started to designed several protocol to support
unidirectional links. We then converged to a single protocol: the link layer
tunnel mechanism (LLTM). You have the right pointer to the document. There is no
other document.

We know several implementations in separate boxes: 
        - Sony
        - Hitachi-IT
        - Harmonic Data System
        - Broadlogic
        - us !
        - others ?

I have not been told of any implementation of LLTM from CISCO. I can just tell
that Tim Gleeson (Cisco Japan) has been participating in writing the current
document.
