VLANs
Virtual LANs (VLANs) allow two logically separated networks to use the same physical medium. VLAN segmentation,
also called 802.1q tagging, works by appending a tag identifying the VLAN ID to each Ethernet frame.

VLAN usage under KVM is an extension to bridge interface sharing. The difference lies in which interface participates
in the bridge set. The physical interfaces (such as eth0, eth1) are bound to the bridge, which is used by each guest. These
interfaces carry unmodified packets coming externally or being generated internally, with or without a VLAN ID tag.
