Protocol Stack for FR to Ethernet AToM Bridged Interworking—Without VLAN Header
FR DLCI to Ethernet VLAN 802.1Q AToM—Bridged Interworking
This interworking type provides interoperability between FR attachment VC and Ethernet VLAN
Attachment VC connected to different PE routers. The bridged encapsulation is used, corresponding to
the Bridged (Ethernet) Interworking mechanism.
The interworking function is performed in the same way as for FR to Ethernet port case, implemented
on the PE connected to the FR attachment VC, based upon a multiprotocol interconnect over Frame
Relay (see
Figure 21-14
).
As in the ATM to VLAN case, one difference exists on Ethernet side due the existence of the VLAN
header in the incoming packet. The PE on the VLAN side discards the VLAN header of the incoming
frames from the VLAN CE, and the PE inserts a VLAN header into the Ethernet frames traveling from
the MPLS cloud. The frames sent on the pseudowire (with VC type 5) are Ethernet frames without the
VLAN header.
The

shows the protocol stack for FR to VLAN AToM Bridged Interworking.
