Q

How is the CE-VLAN tag used to assign a service frame to a service (an EVC)?

A
  1. The subscriber marks the service frame with a CE-VLAN ID before sending it across the UNI to the SP.
  2. When the service frame arrives at the UNI, the SP associates the service frame to an EVC based on the CE-VLAN ID.

Can a UNI support service multiplexing together with all-to-one bundling? Why or why not?

No.
All-to-one bundling implies that all service frames map to ONE EVC.
A service frame cannot map to more than one EVC.
Service multiplexing implies more than one EVC is associated with the UNI.
