ISTR that some years ago, I did a check and found that ~0.5% of packets in our corporate network were being leaked into the incorrect VLAN. [Though my memory may be going] I haven't looked recently. I've also got a switch that believes that VLANs are only related to IP - it will happily copy DECnet packets to all switch ports irrespective of VLAN associations. (And this switch came from the company that DEC sold their switch business to). -- Peter Jeremy
