PORT
External physical interface of Ethernet unit, also called the clientside interface or userside interface. Currently, the common types of interfaces are 10M, FE, and GE.
VCTRUNK
Virtual container trunk. The VCTRUNK is a transmission channel realized by using the VC container. Contiguous concatenation (CCAT) technology or virtual concatenation (VCAT) technology is used to bind VCs into VCTRUNK. The VCAT technology considers several virtual concatenated VCs as one transmission channel.

The Tag is used to identify the type of frames. Three types of Tag
attributes are available: Tag aware, Access, and Hybrid.
Tag aware: When the port is set to Tag aware, the port transparently transmits the packet with a Tag label and discards the packet without a Tag label.
Access: When the port is set to Access, the port adds a PV ID to the packet without a VLAN ID and discards the packet with a VLAN ID
Hybrid: When the port is set to Hybrid, the port adds the default VLAN
ID to the packet without a VLAN ID and transparently transmits the packet with a VLAN ID.

It is necessary to solve the resource shortage problem of VLAN IDs for the Internet.
4096 VLAN IDs cannot meet the requirement of the largescale network.
Users can plan VLAN IDs for their private networks, which do not conflict with VLAN IDs for the Internet.

EPL
Basic Concept
EPL: Transparently transmitted Ethernet services. The bandwidth is not shared. That is, each user occupies a VCTRUNK bandwidth exclusively. The holdoff time of the service is short. The EPL secures the privacy of each user.

EVPL
Basic Concept
EVPL: Also called the VPN private line. The advantage of EVPL is
that multiple services can share a VCTRUNK. In this case, one MAC port can provide several pointtopoint service connections, and such connections have the same performance in each direction.
Service Classification
Transparently transmitted services at the shared port: Ethernet services are transparently transmitted based on port and VLAN ID. Transparently transmitted services through the shared VCTRUNK : Ethernet services in VCTRUNK are isolated based on VLAN ID. EVPL based on QinQ: Ethernet services are flexibly configured based on CVLAN ID and SVLAN ID.

Basic Concept
EPLAN: Ethernet Private LAN. EPLAN is also called L2 switching service. It realizes multipointtomultipoint service connection. The EPLAN is based on the 802.1dcompliant pure bridge. EPLAN services are not isolated by using the VLAN IDs. EVPLAN: Ethernet Virtual Private LAN. EVPLAN is also called Ethernet virtual LAN service. It realizes multipointtomultipoint service connection. The EVPLAN is based on the 802.1qcompliant pure bridge. It isolates various

The Hybrid IF board (IFH2) provides one GE port to transmit Ethernet services. Hence, the IFH2 board has certain Ethernet service processing functions. The IFH2 board, however, only supports settings of the basic attributes and flow control. The GE interface is the RJ45 electrical interface. The GE interface can transmit FE signals. The GE interface of the IFH2 board is used to transmit data services. The data is directly encapsulated in the IF unit and then is transmitted to the air interface. The IFH2 board does not use the EOS technology to encapsulate or map signals, and thus does not support VCTRUNK. Ethernet services directly accessed to NodeB Ethernet convergence services accessed to the EMS6 board, which uses the Native ETH technology and are transmitted through the air interface. In this manner, the bandwidth utilization is improved.
