SVLAN uniqueness
FIGURE 41 SVLAN uniqueness for IEEE 802.1ad and IEEE 802.1ah configurations
IEEE 802.1ad (PB)
For IEEE 802.1ad (PB), because the provider only has 4K of SVLANs, the SVLANs must be unique
among all S-ESIs
IEEE 802.1ah (PBB)
With IEEE 802.1ah (PBB), multiple SVLANs are mapped to I-tags. These SVLANs may belong to
different providers and should be unique only among the SVLANs for the S-ESI to which the SVLAN
belongs, and among all the S-ESIs which are clients for the I-ESI for the I-tag encapsulation.
