[c-nsp] How Q-in-Q should work in VMWare...

[Derick Winkworth]

Curious on feedback about this: http://blinking-network.blogspot.com/2011/07/physical-cabling-dependencies-inhibit.html
Basically, I think VMWare should support MPLS or Q-in-Q in a meaninful way (no VLAN 4095 hackery).  Sadly the Nexus 1000v supports neither (or so I'm told).  Even if it or vSwitch did support it, it probably wouldn't work the right way.
VLAN  differentiation in  a multi-tenant environment should not have physical dependencies on the ESX host.
