Basic Concepts

Port

External physical port of Ethernet unit, the common rates of external port are 10M, FE, GE;

VC Trunk

Virtual Container Trunk, VC Trunk is built by VC. It is the internal port of Ethernet unit.

Basic Concepts of VLAN

Purpose of VLAN division:

Broadcast suppression Security Efficient management

VLAN division modes:

Port based MAC address based L3 protocol based

VLAN 100 VLAN 200

Note: Both of the external and internal ports can process Tag flag

Tag Attributes

Tag flag is used to identify the type of frames. Three types of Tag attributes are available: Tag aware, Access, and Hybrid.

Tag Aware: When the port is set to be Tag aware, the port transmits the packets with the Tag flag transparently and discards those without the Tag flag; Access: When the port is set to be Access, the port attaches a Tag flag to the packets without Tag flag according to its VLAN ID and discards those with the Tag flag; Hybrid: When the port is set to be Hybrid, the port can process packets regardless of the Tag flag and attach a Tag flag to the packets without the Tag flag according to its VLAN ID.

EPL
Definition
EPL (Ethernet Private Line) ,EPL can provide low latency and high security point to point transmission.

EPL Classification
Point to Point EPL: Point to point transmission without
sharing;

Port Shared EPL: Share one Port with different VLAN ID; VCTRUNK Shared EPL: Share one VCTRUNK with different
VLAN ID.

EVPL
Definition
EVPL( Ethernet Virtual Private Line) multiple service flows can share VCTRUNK with VLAN ID and MPLS. It can improve the bandwidth utilization ratio and save the ports resource of Ethernet unit.

MPLS Basics
MPLS network IP PE P MPLS P PE

LSP

MPLS: Multi-protocol Label Switching, standard routing and switching platform; Tunnel/VC: Two labels in MPLS, range of value is 16 (220-1); LSP: Label switching path, different value labels will be given in different nodes, data can be sent forward according these labels; P/PE: P (Provider) internal node of MPLS network, PE (Provider Edge) the edge of MPLS network.

EVPL (MPLS)

EVPL can provide VCTRUNK sharing with different MPLS labels if the VLAN ID of the service are the same. The traffic of A and B will share VCTRUNK1 with different Tunnel and VC values.
