When configuring Q-in-Q tunneling, which type of tunneling involves the swapping of S-VLANs with C-VLANs?

In a Juniper Q-in-Q (Layer 2 tunneling) environment, VLAN rewrites (specifically the swap operation) provide the most granular control over how customer traffic (C-VLANs) is mapped to service provider traffic (S-VLANs).

VLAN Rewrites (The Swap Operation): This method involves replacing the incoming customer VLAN tag with a service provider tag as the frame enters the tunnel. This is technically a " swap " because the original C-VLAN tag is removed and the S-VLAN tag is written in its place. At the egress of the tunnel, the S-VLAN tag is swapped back for the original C-VLAN tag. This is often used when different customers use the same C-VLAN IDs and the provider needs to keep them unique within their core.

Many-to-Many: This is a mapping style where multiple customer VLANs are mapped to multiple service provider VLANs, but it typically relies on the " push " (stacking) operation rather than a literal " swap " of the tag itself.

All-in-One: This is the simplest form of Q-in-Q where all traffic entering an interface is " pushed " into a single S-VLAN tag, regardless of any existing C-VLAN tags. No swapping occurs; the original tags are simply buried under the new provider tag.

L2PT (Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling): This is a feature used to tunnel Layer 2 control protocols (like STP, CDP, or LLDP) across a provider network by encapsulating them or changing their destination MAC addresses. It does not involve the swapping of VLAN tags.
