IEEE 802.1ah is an amendment to the IEEE 802.1Q networking standard which adds support for Provider Backbone Bridges. It includes an architecture and a set of protocols for routing over a provider's network, allowing interconnection of multiple provider bridge networks without losing each customer's individually defined VLANs .
Service provider bridges (also called provider bridges) allow devices in a service provider network to transparently carry the Layer 2 control frames of a customer. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) or Cisco Discovery Protocol frames are carried separately from the service provider traffic and from other customer ...
