Business Ethernet from upc cablecom business is a virtual Ethernet connection (Virtual Private Wire Service) for connecting two Ethernet end devices like a router or Ethernet bridge. Depending on the capacity of the connection line, one or more Ethernet connections can be terminated on a single connection. The Ethernet connection is identified via a VLAN tag. The service port can be a trunk (802.1Q) or access port. In DSL connections, four access ports or a trunk port are supported by a maximum of four VLANs. VLAN transparency, i.e. the transparent transfer of the VLAN tags, is available for optical fibre connections using the QinQ option.
