| 110 | Ethernet interface has tag, but FrameNet does *not* provide any sort of VLAN translation or tunnelling support. thus, the same tag number has to be used at both ends of the connection. Total of approx 4000 tags. RENCI can assign up to 100 tags. [[BR]] |
| 111 | Setup using Sherpa service. [[BR]] |
91 | | NLR does *not* provide any sort of VLAN translation or tunnelling support, so you are entirely responsible for arriving at your NLR endpoint with your VLANs intact, as it were. This seems likely to cause problems for some sites, given NLR's relatively small number of endpoints. It has certainly caused some problems for us. [[BR]] |
92 | | RENCI controls their access all the way to their NLR switch port, which gives them a lot more flexibility. (And note that, since they can be flexible and do arbitrary VLAN translation on their own equipment, people who want to talk to them (like us), don't have to be as flexible.) |

| 115 | Soon: |
| 116 | NLR Sherpa developers will be rolling out multi- point VLANs in the next month (January, 2010) or so, followed by q-in-q support in the next several months (March, 2010). [[BR]] |
