Existing SAP processing rules still apply for the I-VPLS case; the SAP encapsulation definition on
Ethernet ingress ports defines which VLAN tags are used to determine the service that the packet
belongs to:
• Null encap defined on ingress — Any VLAN tags are ignored and the packet goes to a
default service for the SAP;
• Dot1q encap defined on ingress — only first VLAN tag is considered;
• Qinq encap defined on ingress — both VLAN tags are considered; wildcard support for
the inner VLAN tag
• For dot1q/qinq encapsulations, traffic encapsulated with VLAN tags for which there is no
definition is discarded.
• Note that any VLAN tag used for service selection on the I-SAP is stripped before the
PBB encapsulation is added. Appropriate VLAN tags are added at the remote PBB PE
when sending the packet out on the egress SAP.
