to the same VLAN by customer, so the uplink device can obtain traffic statistics for different customers
based on VLANs.

when you work with VLAN mapping.

Basic concepts of VLAN mapping
•
Uplink traffic—Traffic transmitted from the customer network to the service provider network.
•
Downlink traffic—Traffic transmitted from the service provider network to the customer network.
•
Network-side port—A port connected to the service provider network.
•
Customer-side port—A port connected to the customer network.
•
Uplink policy—A QoS policy that defines VLAN mapping rules for uplink traffic.
•
Downlink policy—A QoS policy that defines VLAN mapping rules for downlink traffic.
•
Customer VLANs (CVLANs)—VLANs assigned for customers.
