The more interesting problem is that the term VLAN needs to be qualified depending on the Ethernet service being offered. For example, CE-VLAN (Customer Edge VLAN) or P-VLAN (Provider VLAN) or S-VLAN (Service VLAN),
NML will create a base schema with generic concepts. It would be very useful to push out some technology specific schemas at roughly the same time, and I think Ethernet is a prime candidate for that. I've created some technology-specific schemes in NDL, but certainly don't consider myself an expert. Would you be willing to work with me on a Ethernet schema? That would be extremely useful and helpful to us. As a first step, I like to call you to go over the above variants, and decide together how many sublayers there are in Ethernet. (where a sublayer is an encoding of a datastream, thus with a given frame header). I can make time for this in about a week from now. Thanks, Freek
