Introduction • http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2010/liaison-nfinn-split-horizon-vid-filtering-0710-v04.pdf describes in pages 19 and 20 the “Optimal distribution of data: Non-802.1aq” and “Using VIDs for manually configured optimum data distribution” • The following slides expand the description in those two pages with • Multi (e.g. 2) domain E-LAN example • 1 root and 2 roots E-Tree examples • Internal node configuration details for E-LAN and E-Tree cases, including • Relay VIDs and switch configurations • Egress filtering • Egress and ingress VID translation, • Per domain local VID values • Per link local VID values (used in transport networks) • Primary VID values in MEPs and MIPs • v02 adds some E-Tree cases, corrections of some mistakes in v01, an evaluation of UP and Down MEP/MIP primary VID values and support of those multi-VID models in G.8021 • v03 includes some corrections in the B1 and B2 node expansion figures on slides 5,17,20,26 • v04 includes G.8021 functional models for nodes B1 to B5 for E-LAN, 2nd type E-Tree, 3rd type E-Tree and 4th type E-Tree in slides 31 to 43; while developing those slides it was noticed that it is possible to enhance the egress filtering for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th E-Tree cases; this is also reflected in slides 14-15, 17-18 and 20-21. In addition, interworking cases between nodes with split-horizon port group designs and nodes with multi-vid designs for E-LAN and 2nd type E-Tree are illustrated in slides 45-46.

In the previous E-LAN examples ingress VID Translation is not deployed at all input ports (e.g. not on P20 in slide 6, not on P20, P21, P23, P24, P25 on slide 4) With the “Ingress Filtering” parameter for the ports set to ‘disabled’ those VLAN connections are not secured; frames arriving on other input ports of e.g. node B2 with a local VID value ‘V’, ‘Ia’ or ‘Ib’ can enter the E-LAN VLAN (see Red dashed lines) This security issue is resolved when ingress VID translation is deployed at every input port This prevents that frames with unexpected local VID values can access the port and intrude the VLANs Ia Ia V Ib V Ia Ib Ia V Ia V Ib V V Ib Ib Ia Ia Ib Ib Security in transport networks P21; Ingress Filtering = Disabled Ia Ib B2 V Ia P20; Ingress Filtering = Disabled P23; Ingress Filtering = Disabled SVL Ib Ia V V Ia Ib Ib V V Ia Ib Ib P25; Ingress Filtering = Disabled Ia V P24; Ingress Filtering = Disabled
When using different VID values on the links between nodes it is required to identify the ports which form a group and ports which are individual All individual ports must be associated with a relay VID (R-VID) value identifying Individual ports Ports which form a group must be associated with a R-VID value identifying that group Administration of individual ports and grouped ports is done via the Ingress VID Translation tables in each port(see next slide for example) For node B2 the following applies: Group 1: (P21,P23): R-VID: Ia Group 2: (P24,P25): R-VID: Ib Individual: P20: R-VID: V For node B5: Group 1: (P52,P54): R-VID: I Individual: P50,P55: R-VID: V VID Translation for E-LAN (2 domains) example C11 VID: G P11 VID: A B1 C12 VID: Q P10 P13 P12 B3 P31 P30 VID: P C3 P32 VID: F P21 VID: R P23 VID: B B2 P20 C2 P24 P25 VID: K VID: L P42 P52 P55 P40 B4 P45 P54 B5 C4 C52 VID: C VID: M VID: E P50 VID: D C51
Using VIDs for manually configured optimum data distribution for E-LAN (2 domains) example using ingress VID translation on all ports
Port Group concept in transport networks • The logical concept of a “Port Group” could be maintained in a transport network as a configuration element in the manually configured optimum data distribution for E-LAN connection management • Each port in a node in such E-LAN is marked as either an Individual Port or as a port in a Port Group #i (i≥1) • The ports in a Port Group will see their local VID values translated into a common relay VID value in the ingress VID translation process • Relay VID values for the individual and the port group ports have a node local scope; each node can select those values independent of other nodes
E-Tree types • There are four types of E-Tree • Unidirectional P2MP E-Tree (outside scope of this document) • Bidirectional RMP E-Tree with single root and individual leaves • Bidirectional RMP E-Tree with multiple roots and individual leaves • Bidirectional RMP E-Tree with multiple roots, individual leaves and one or more leaf groups • The 4th type requires the use of the largest set of relay VID values and local VID values • Relay VIDs identify the frame’s source and potential set of destination ports: R, I, VG1 to VGN • Local VIDs identify the frame’s source port: root, individual leaf, leaf group #i • The 2nd type requires the use of two relay VID values (R, I) and one local VID value per link • Local VID identifies in the frame’s source port: root, individual leaf • Ingress VID translation converts local VID value to appropriate relay VID value • Egress VID translation converts both relay VID values to same local VID value • The 3rd type requires the use of two relay VID values (R, I) and one or two local VID values per link • Local VID values can not be pruned to single value on the links between the root ports • Next slides illustrate the 2nd, 3rd and 4th E-Tree types and their configuration details from the viewpoint of a transport network

E-Tree, 3rd and 4th types interworking • The 3rd and 4th type E-Tree cases can not be supported by means of split-horizon port groups. As such, there is no interworking requirement for multi-vid designs of those two E-Tree cases.
