Dear list members,

I noticed that the PBB packet tests, in contrast to the MPLS packet tests 
(i.e. those tests where you send PBB packets from the packet generator), 
currently get matched against their encapsulated payload, while the MPLS 
packets go through the 'Pop MPLS Header' step first.
I think is is wrong. According to 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provider_Backbone_Bridges PBB packets should 
get switched only according to their B-VID and B-DA values in the PBB 
header, and not according to their encapsulated payload. Therefore, if you 
want to test the encapsulated payload, the PBB header should be popped 
first, same like for MPLS packets.
So, flow entries for popping the PBB header may need to be added to the 
tests.

Comments?

Best Regards!
