IEEE 802.1v-2001

IEEE 802.1Q specifies a single PVID variable (Port VLAN Identifier) for each port of a switch. The configurable value of this single PVID variable specifies the VLAN into which frames untagged at ingress to the port are to be classified. The project will develop a supplement to 802.1Q to specify optional additional classification rules per port based on the protocol (as designated in the frame by 802 family portocols identifiers) in the received untagged frame. The project will consider compatibility and interoperability with existing 802.1Q bridges.
