Campus Network ScenarioCampus Network Scenario
Between Subscriber (SS1) and Switch (SW1) Each VLAN segment is assigned a unique VID E.g. Dept 1 packets are tagged w/ VID=300 Each VID has a CIR (minimum bit rate)
For each VLAN segment A virtual group is defined as a multicast domain E.g. Group I for Dept 1 at Site 1 and Site 2 Each group has a multicast CIR
Within each virtual group VID can differ at each site E.g. Group II for Dept 2
packet VID=400 at Site 1 packet VID=700 at Site 2
Data between Dept 1 & 2 Through Router Layer 3 connectivity only
• Dept 1 packets tagged with VID= 300
• Dept 2 packets tagged with VID= 400
• Dept 1 packets tagged with VID= 300
• Dept 2 packets tagged with VID= 700
• All Dept 1 connections set to Group I
