Note 1: The use of Trunk OVC End Points and Trunk Identifiers at ENNI A allows the Operator MEN to determine the type of
ingress UNI and thus properly forward each ENNI Frame using Root and Leaf S-VLAN ID values
Note 2: OVC End Point 3 at ENNI B is a Leaf OVC End Point because any ingress ENNI Frame mapped to this OVC End
Point is the result of an ingress Service Frame at a Leaf UNI
Note 3: OVC End Point 7 at ENNI B is a Root OVC End Point because any ingress ENNI Frame mapped to this OVC End
Point is the result of an ingress Service Frame at a Root UNI

Hairpin Switching
q  Hairpin switching occurs:
q  Where ENNI Frames associated with an EVC are sent back across
the same ENNI from which they were received by the Operator
q  When an ingress S-Tagged ENNI Frame at a given ENNI results in
an egress S-Tagged ENNI Frame with a different S-VLAN ID value
at the given ENNI
q  When an OVC associates two or more OVC End Points at a given
ENNI
q  Note: Improper use of Hairpin Switching can result in a data

loop between two Operator MENs at a single ENNI

Hairpin Switching Example
q  An OVC may support hairpin switching at the ENNI
q  When an ENNI frame is hairpin switched the S-VLAN ID is
changed

OVC End Point Map Bundling
q  OEP Bundling: Mapping multiple S-VLAN ID values to a single
OVC End Point in the End Point Map
q  Reducing the number of OVCs required to cross a transit

network
q  When the End Point Map has Bundling, the OVC must be a
transit OVC with two ENNI on either end
q  CE-VLAN ID Preservation Must be = Yes
q  CE-VLAN CoS Preservation Must be = Yes
q  S-VLAN ID Preservation Must be = Yes
q  Hairpin switching is prohibited
