Between Subscriber (SS1) and Switch (SW1) Each VLAN segment is assigned a unique VID E.g. Dept 1 packets are tagged w/ VID=300 Each VID has a CIR (minimum bit rate) For each VLAN segment A virtual group is defined as a multicast domain E.g. Group I for Dept 1 at Site 1 and Site 2 Each group has a multicast CIR Within each virtual group VID can differ at each site E.g. Group II for Dept 2 packet VID=400 at Site 1 packet VID=700 at Site 2 Data between Dept 1 & 2 Through Router Layer 3 connectivity only Campus Network Scenario • Dept 1 packets tagged with VID= 300 • Dept 2 packets tagged with VID= 400 VLAN capable switch Dept 1 AN-80i Dept 2 SW1 SS1 Site 2 Router AN-80i VLAN capable switch SC Site 1 Dept 2 AN-80i • All Dept 1 connections set to Group I • All Dept 2 connections set to Group II Dept 1 SW2 SS2 • Dept 1 packets tagged with VID= 300 • Dept 2 packets tagged with VID= 700 Site 3 Redline Communications Inc.
