Hello, Thanks for the reply. I will look at 802.1ah. Currently our architecture does not involve physical hardware as we do not have control over it. We were planning on using the provided private network from the data centre and separating the traffic of our clients inside this vlan. We just need to host more than 4094 vlans in such network. Does the openvswitch support 802.1ah?
