Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the switching technology of the two-layer bearer network, in particular to a virtual circuit switching method based on MAC learning. Background technique
[0002] In the Ethernet virtual circuit switching network, multiple virtual switches exchange packets through incoming ports and incoming VLANIDs, and establish virtual circuits between the source LAN and the destination LAN.
[0003] At present, in the IEEE802.1Q standard, the length of a VLAN ID is only 12 bits, that is to say, the entire Layer 2 network can only support 4096 global VLANs, which is far from meeting the requirements of the operating network.
[0004] Due to the complexity of MAN planning, the links between the source LAN and the destination LAN may have different VLAN IDs or the VLAN IDs are tense.
[0005] While using the incoming port and incoming VLAN ID for packet exchange, the VLAN ID is also replaced. This method solves the problem that the VLAN ID of...
