Note: IEEE 802.1p&q VLAN Tagging (additional 4 bytes if enabled)

Note: The UDP source port field is used to transfer the destination bundle number.

VLAN Support

VLAN, according to IEEE 802.1p&q, adds four bytes to the MAC layer of the Ethernet frame. The contents of these bytes, MAC layer priority and VLAN ID, can be set by the user. In this mode, only VLAN format frames are sent and received by IPmux-1. Figure 1-17describes the VLAN tag format.
