Talk:Private VLAN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should this be redirected to Virtual_private_LAN_service? I'm not convinced this is new content here. --Bfigura (talk) 04:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
No, VPLS is an MPLS technology that facilitates communication across VPN-like tunnels. Private VLANs are Ethernet features to prevent traffic flow from one host to another on the same VLAN. --jigsaw 04:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, don't know enough to know myself, hence the request. That and the fact that the creating user (ie, you) has been creating pages really fast, all of which have had a link to (or pdf from) Allied_Telesis. As you have been editing that page heavily, i was a bit suspicious. Thoughts/explanations? --Bfigura (talk) 04:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, thanks for the interest, I guess! I checked your diffs and have removed the reference from Private VLAN as it was probably unnecessary to cite it. There is no external reference in MAC except to point to MAC-Forced Forwarding (which seems reasonable to me?). The PDF reference in MACFF is to illustrate how some vendors have used additional features to improve the Private VLAN feature. I intended to search for more examples and add them too to make the article more neutral. --jigsaw 04:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
