[pve-devel] [PATCH] tap_plug : add support for vlan aware linux bridge

Hi Alexandre,

This looks like it should work.

Something to be aware of, QinQ does not always have an outer tag with
ethertype 0x88a8, it can also have a tag of 0x8100 or 0x9100 depending on
the implementation.

For example:

0x88a8--0x8100    Outer-tag (SVID) of 0x88a8, Inner-tag (CVID) of 0x8100
0x8100--0x8100    Outer-tag (SVID) of 0x8100, Inner-tag (CVID) of 0x8100
0x9100--0x8100    Outer-tag (SVID) of 0x9100, Inner-tag (CVID) of 0x8100

We typically use "stacked" tags of 0x8100 so both the outer and inner tag
are 0x8100, this seems to be the most compatible method and is supported by
all vendors that I am aware of.
