It was split for incremental testing. #5 added the ability to set and delete it without impacting anything. #6 added the actual work that=20 pvid does. > Still, > the implementation looks overly complicated.

What if there is no outer tag? That's what the ingress code is doing. If there is no outer tag, pvid is written to vlan_tci. If there was outer tag in vlan_tci, it's left alone. This way at the end of ingress vlan_tci is always set. At egress, we grab that tag and compare it against pvid if any. If it matches, it's stripped. If it doesn't, we output with the tag thus adding the header. The only thing I can simplify is grab the tci directly at egress, but that's what the code will do anyway. -vlad > > Best Regards, > Micha=B3 Miros=B3aw >
