device receives a packet from the service provider network, this device will find the path for the packet
by searching the MAC address table of the VLAN corresponding to the outer tag and unicast the packet.
Thus, packet broadcast is reduced in selective QinQ applications.
Likewise, the entries in the MAC address table of the outer VLAN can also be replicated to that of the
default VLAN on a port, through which the outbound port to the service provider network can be
determined through the MAC address table of the default VLAN and user packets destined for the
service provider can be unicast.
