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 1-17 describes the VLAN tag format.
