22 An Ethernet switch is typically comprised of multiple front-panel ports, and one
27 gateways, or even top-of-the rack switches. This host Ethernet controller will

46 - what port is this frame coming from
47 - what was the reason why this frame got forwarded
48 - how to send CPU originated traffic to specific ports
52 on Port-based VLAN IDs).
57 - the "cpu" port is the Ethernet switch facing side of the management
61 - the "dsa" port(s) are just conduits between two or more switches, and as such
63 downstream, or the top-most upstream interface makes sense with that model

68 DSA currently supports 5 different tagging protocols, and a tag-less mode as
