The technology of Dot1q-tuunel provides the ISP internet the ability of supporting
many client VLANs by only one VLAN of theirselves. Both the ISP internet and the clients
can configure their own VLAN independently.
It is obvious that, the dot1q-tunnel function has got following characteristics:
Applicable through simple static configuration, no complex configuration or
maintenance to be needed.
Operators will only have to assign one SPVID for each user, which increases the
number of concurrent supportable users; while the users has got the ultimate
freedom in selecting and managing the VLAN IDs (select within 1~4096
at users‘
will).
The user network is considerably independent. When the ISP internet is
upgrading their network, the user networks do not have to change their original
configuration.
Detailed description on the application and configuration of dot1q-tunnel will be
provided in this section.
