VLAN - Virtual Routing (VRF) solution

Each VSAT Eth port acts as a virtual router (VRF) Allows serving multiple customers on a single VSAT End to end traffic separation (VLAN tagging or trunking) Eliminates the need for an external VLAN switch Full flexibility unique routing per VRF (NAT, DHCP etc) Flexible QoS control priority and weight per VRF Allows traffic separation between applications Secure and separate critical applications
