Table 67 on page 550 describes the different scenarios in which the Martini circuit
configuration is supported, when Ethernet raw mode encapsulation is configured on
the S-VLAN interfaces.

Figure 125 on page 550 shows the transmission of Ethernet packets over a Martini
circuit with ES2 4G, GE-2, GE/FE, ES2 10G, ES2 10G Uplink, and ES2 10G ADV LMs.
The different processing points inside the PE-facing routers are denoted as A, B, C,
and D.

Consider a scenario in which Ethernet raw mode is not enabled on the S-VLAN
subinterface of the PE-facing devices. When a packet reaches the S-VLAN subinterface
on an ingress line module, point A, inside PE1, all packets, regardless of whether
they are tagged or not, are forwarded to the subinterface on the egress line module,
B, inside PE1 without any change. This behavior applies to both ES2 4G LMs, ES2
