In Ethernet-based aggregation networks, several subscriber premises
may be logically connected to the same interface of an Edge Router.
This document proposes a method for the Edge Router to identify the

network deployment scenarios in which multiple user ports are mapped to
the same virtual interface on the Edge Router.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]
