V300 Virtual Port Extender

Bridge port extenders (BPEs) are devices that do not fully process packets, nor make forwarding or
filtering decisions. Instead, they simply receive packets from extended ports and forward packets
toward the upstream controlling bridge (an ExtremeXOS-based switch) for L2/L3 processing. This
scheme, based on the IEEE 802.1BR specification, is known as extended edge switching.
