Guess that lack of consistency is due to the time of edition (class 4-6
definitions
are newer) and due to vendor specific influence (class F is only Brocade
internal communication Protocoll for Inter Switch Links (ISLs)).
BTW, I'm wondering why there is class 1 and 4 in that Brocade book `cause
they only support class2, 3 and F.
