If you set the Net Overflow parameter to shared, a private network can also use public
trunks as a backup. This is called inclusive mode (shown in Figure 13-2). The
identifier, VPN 0, is reserved to indicate the public part of the network. Trunks that
have non-zero VPNs are reserved for data traffic matching that VPN, although they
can also carry management traffic for the entire network.
