802.1ad, also known as QinQ is an extension to the 802.1q standard, which is concerned with passing possibly 802.1q-tagged packets through another VLAN-like tunnel. The format of 802.1ad tag is the same as 802.1q, except it uses the EtherType of 0x88a8, unlike 802.1q's 0x8100. Add support for 802.1ad protocol. Most of the configuration is the same as 802.1q. The difference is that before a port joins an 802.1ad bridge it needs to be configured to recognize 802.1ad packets as tagged and other packets (e.g., 802.1q) as untagged. VXLAN is not currently supported with 802.1ad bridge, so return an error with an appropriate extack message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
