customer’s network. The packet is sent as a normal IEEE 802.1Q-tagged frame,
preserving the original VLAN numbers used in the customer’s network.
Layer 2 Flow for Packets Coming into a Tunnel Access Port
A QinQ tunnel port may receive either tagged or untagged packets. No matter how
many tags the incoming packet has, it is treated as tagged packet.
The ingress process does source and destination lookups. If both lookups are
successful, the ingress process writes the packet to memory. Then the egress
process transmits the packet. Packets entering a QinQ tunnel port are processed in
the following manner:
1. New SPVLAN tags are added to all incoming packets, no matter how many tags
they already have. The ingress process constructs and inserts the outer tag
(SPVLAN) into the packet based on the default VLAN ID and Tag Protocol
Identifier (TPID, that is, the ether-type of the tag). This outer tag is used for
learning and switching packets. The priority of the inner tag is copied to the outer
tag if it is a tagged or priority tagged packet.
2. After successful source and destination lookup, the ingress process sends the
packet to the switching process with two tags. If the incoming packet is
untagged, the outer tag is an SPVLAN tag, and the inner tag is a dummy tag
(8100 0000). If the incoming packet is tagged, the outer tag is an SPVLAN tag,
and the inner tag is a CVLAN tag.
3. After packet classification through the switching process, the packet is written to
memory with one tag (an outer tag) or with two tags (both an outer tag and inner
tag).
4. The switch sends the packet to the proper egress port.
5. If the egress port is an untagged member of the SPVLAN, the outer tag will be
stripped. If it is a tagged member, the outgoing packets will have two tags.
