Re: [LinkSec] RE: [802.1] P802.1ad Task Group ballot disposition
Dirceu,
No one asserts that a bridge will not need to handle more than
4000 subscribers to a service. The question is whether a separate
VLAN is required for each subscriber. Methods were proposed at the
last meeting which are perfectly compatible with a standard 802.1Q
(or 802.1AD) provider bridge which allow two VLANs to support tens
or hundreds of subscribers. The subscribers cannot talk to each
other at Layer 2, and the router has a one routed interface for
each group of customers. This can be a powerful technique.
