Hi,
 
Imagine the following scenario.
 
A customer tells the its service provider:
 
Send all my Ethernet packets with VLAN = X to Dest A
Send all my Ethernet packets with VLAN = Y to Dest B
Send all my Ethernet packets without any VLAN to Dest C
 
Is this VLAN tag considered to be service-delimiting tag? if so then what about
packets without VLAN tag? how should they be treated in tagged mode? should
a configured VLAN tag be added to them before encapsulating is MPLS?
 
Thanks,
