Figure 25 Configurable TPID
The per-service TPID is set as follows:
1 Configure a TPID to be used at the service level (for example, 0x88a8 (or any 
other ether type other than 0x8100))
2 Enable the use of this TPID on the underlying ports of all SAPs belonging to this 
service, for which the service level TPID is to be used.
The use of service level TPID is enabled at the port level. For all other SAPs on the 
port belonging to other services where no service level TPID has been configured, a 
system-level default TPID will be used.
5.4.12 External Packet Forwarding (EPF)
External Packet Forwarding is an Nokia proprietary feature to support Lawful 
intercept in a H.248 based voice network.
To support this in IHUB, the IP address of a router 'R' will be configured in a v-VPLS 
which carries voice traffic. This IP address will act as the next-hop for all up-stream 
voice packets from the voice LTs in the v-VPLS.
ISAM will send an ARP message to find out the MAC address of the router 'R' and 
will send the voice packets with the real IP destination address and the MAC of router 
"R" as the MAC destination.
When EPF is enabled, the hair-pinning is disabled automatically on the service.
