7.2.3 Creating EPLn Service

Purpose
The Ethernet LAN service is added with MPLS or Stack VLAN protocol for
processing on the basis of the original Layer 2 switching service, achieving fast
forwarding and VCTRUNK bandwidth sharing. Logically the whole Ethernet LAN
domain can be regarded as a huge switch. A user can access the switch from any
ports in the domain. The port of this switch supports Layer 2 protocols, such as
spanning tree and Internet group management protocol (IGMP Snooping).
The Ethernet private LAN (EPLn) is a simple application of the Ethernet LAN service.
In this case, the VCTRUNK port cannot be shared.
