8.1
Bridge Architecture
The system incorporates a fully functional integrated Provider Bridge (IEEE 802.1ad).
Provider Bridge, commonly known as Q in Q, extends the IEEE 802.1Q standard by
providing for a second stack of VLANs in a bridged network. The general purpose of
Provider Bridge is to enable frames from multiple customers to be forwarded (or
tunneled) through another topology (provider network) using Service VLANs (S -VLAN).
