[pve-devel] [PATCH] Virtual vlan tagging to bridge interface

[Andrew Thrift]

FYI we are using vlan tagging on bridges with Proxmox in production for
over a year now, initially on 2.6.32 kernel and then on 3.10.  We are using
Intel gigabit and 10gigabit adapters.

We posted the patches to the list a few months back,  I believe these are
very similar to Alexandre's patches.  We have a more complex config in that
we are also doing bonding and QinQ vlan tagging.

Our setup looks like this:

eth0,eth1,eth2,eth3---->bond0---->bond0.101---->vmbr0---->vmbr0.201<----tap
interface

That is using an outer tag of 101 and an inner tag of 201.
