QinQ (Provider Bridging)
Introduction
QinQ and Duplicate VIDs. Duplicate VID’s for c-tagged and s-tagged
VLANs (for example, C-VID=100; S-VID=100) are allowed in certain cases and
disallowed in others. Customer-network ports are essentially S-VLAN ports:
they simply read the C-tags in the customer frame to insert them into the
appropriate untagged S-VLAN for that port. Once this double-tagging occurs,
frames are forwarded based on the S-VLAN tag only, while the C-VLAN tag
remains shielded during data transmission. See Figure 7-4 for examples of
allowed configurations.
