Abstract
A method for use by a subscriber device associated with a LAN in a wireless network, to enable provisioning of services to another subscriber device associated with that LAN. The method includes (i) at the first subscriber device, receiving an outgoing packet generated by the other subscriber device associated, wherein that outgoing packet has been tagged with a VLAN label; (ii) forwarding the outgoing packet towards a source MAC address of the subscriber device; (iii) associating a DSCP value with the outgoing packet; (iv) removing VLAN label and Ethernet MAC layer from the outgoing packet and forwarding the remaining IP packet to a MAC convergence sub-layer; (v) at the MAC convergence sub-layer, forwarding the outgoing packet to a service flow determined by using a DSCP value associated with the outgoing packet; and forwarding the outgoing packet along an air-link service flow connection.
