A Bridge can be logically subdivided into the following components:
• S-VLAN component
• C-VLAN component

Bridges are classified into VLAN Bridge:
CB: Customer Bridge or C-VLAN Bridge
PEB: Provider Edge Bridg
PCB: Provider Core Bridge or S-VLAN Bridge

Provider Core Bridge integrates only one S-VLAN component. It is capable of providing single service on a port.
Provider Edge Bridge integrates one S-VLAN component with zero or many C-VLAN components as well as integrates each C-VLAN (up to 4094 C-VLANs) individually with a different S-VLAN (up to 4094 S-VLANs).

================================
Bridge-Port-Type　　　　　　　　CB PEB PCB
--------------------------------------------------------
Customer Bridge Port (CBP) 　　YES NO NO
Customer Edge Port (CEP) 　　　NO YES NO
Customer Network Port (CNP) 　NO YES YES
Provider Network Port (PNP)　　 NO YES YES
================================

An aid to remember the functions of the Bridge Port Types:
• Customer ports (CEPs, CNPs) face the customer network and connect to a single customer.
• Provider ports (PNPs) face the provider network.
• Edge port (CEPs) are on C-VLAN components and recognize C-tags.
• Network ports (CNPs, PNPs) are on S-VLAN components and recognize S-tags.

Customer service Interface
A service provider can offer a customer one or more types of service interfaces, each providing different capabilities for service selection, priority selection, and service access protection. Some service interfaces are provided by the service provider operating systems that include C-VLAN components, or by customer operating systems that include S-VLAN components.
Access to a given service instance can be provided through different types of customer service interface.

1) CNP-Port Based (Port-based service interface)

Traffic on this port is considered to be a single service and is assumed to have no S-tags. The port-based CNP applies a single S-tag for all customer traffic at ingress. The port-based CNP strips out the S-tag on egress to the Customer Bridge.

2) CNP-STAG(S-tagged service interface)
