-IEEE 802.1q_, often referred to as Dot1q, is the networking standard that supports
-virtual LANs (VLANs) on an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network. The standard defines a
-system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be
-used by bridges and switches in handling such frames. The standard also contains
-provisions for a quality-of-service prioritization scheme commonly known as IEEE
-802.1p and defines the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

Portions of the network which are VLAN-aware (i.e., IEEE 802.1q_ conformant) can
include VLAN tags. When a frame enters the VLAN-aware portion of the network, a
-tag is added to represent the VLAN membership. Each frame must be distinguishable
-as being within exactly one VLAN. A frame in the VLAN-aware portion of the network
-that does not contain a VLAN tag is assumed to be flowing on the native VLAN.

The standard was developed by IEEE 802.1, a working group of the IEEE 802
standards committee, and continues to be actively revised. One of the notable
-revisions is 802.1Q-2014 which incorporated IEEE 802.1aq (Shortest Path Bridging)
-and much of the IEEE 802.1d standard.

802.1q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The
term used for this is ``vif``.
