My point is that the splitting of VLANs happens outside of your domain
and outside of your control. So yes, it is going to happen somewhere in
a switchingmatrix, but you cannot control it.
So, how do you want to describe this?
Do you want to introduce a Node/SwitchingMatrix that is there but you do
not control?
