Inner VLAN tag -> S-Tag
The current protocol specification requires that the inner VLAN tag be a Q-Tag (official a “C-Tag” now). S-Tag is more expressive for QoS.
Only 1 bit different between Q and S tags: “Canonical Format Indicator” for Q-tags, “Drop Eligible Indicator” for S-tags. Current spec says CFI = 0 in inner tag.
Inner VLAN tag is only seen by TRILL knowledgeable devices.
Inner Tag priority and VLAN ID typically constructed at ingress RBridge. Suggest using S-Tag so the DEI would be available.
