(Single-choice) HSI service uses VLAN tags to bind users precisely.

When the number of access users approaches or exceeds the single-layer VLAN space and services must be distinguished per user, Huawei recommends hierarchical VLAN (QinQ) on the uplink: map a customer VLAN (C-VLAN) at the access side and add a service/provider VLAN (S-VLAN) toward the aggregation/core, i.e., C → S+C. This expands scalability beyond the ~4K single-VLAN limit while enabling precise user/service binding for large FTTH deployments (e.g., ~5K users under one OLT).
