Bundling

Association of multiple CE-VLAN IDs to an EVC at a UNI

Bundling

Association of all service frames to one EVC at the UNI

All-to-one Bundling

True or False: In MEF service definitions, bundling and all-to-one bundling are mutually exclusive.

True. | A UNI can support bundling or all-to-one bundling, but not both.

True or False: A UNI can support bundling or all-to-one bundling, but not both.

True. | Bundling and all-to-one bundling are mutually exclusive.

Service Multiplexing

Can bundling and service multiplexing co-exist on the same UNI?
