Figure 12 Flow Directions
As illustrated, flows within the connections between the switching domain and
the uplink port (Port z), handles all traffic transferred from all End-users using
this specific VLAN. Any flow configured within a connection to an End-user
port for this VLAN, must also be configured in the uplink connection.
For downstream traffic (from the network to the End-users), the uplink ingress
flow configuration (reliability and priority) will apply to all End-users using this
flow.
4.11.2 Number of Flows
Four flows are globally available on the entire EFN324; to each flow can be
assigned a numerical value, 1 to 4.
