Discussions Q1: *if* flows are discriminated on a local basis, I-d assumes a behavior not defined by the IEEE (initial last CCAMP meeting question) R1: there are equivalent mechanisms defined outside the scope of the IEEE (… at the IETF for instance) Q2: if you discriminate flows based on the VLAN_ID what is the number of flows you can maintain? R2: 4k per port Q3: how is the forwarding then performed R3: not necessarily using bridging/MAC learning as the point-to-point path for the frames is known from the LSP establishment (it is thus the establishment of the LSP that determines external behaviour of the forwarding function) Note: as in any standard there is no point in detailing the exact implementation of the switching/ forwarding/connection function - |
