As Ethernet technologies made their way into the Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and the Wide Area Networks (WAN), from the conventional enterprise level usage, they are now widely being used by service providers to provide end-to-end connectivity to customers. Such service provider networks are typically spread across large geographical areas. Additionally, the service providers themselves may be relying on certain internet backbone providers, referred to as “operators”, to provide connectivity in case the geographical area to be covered is too huge.

For MPLS forwarded traffic the tunnel destination needs to know the address-family of the payload IP/IPv6 packet to correctly parse the header. On some platforms this address-family is deduced from the address family of the Bottom of stack( BOS ) MPLS label seen by the router or by relying on the Ether Type in the Ethernet header.
