Logical network. A single layer 2 network portioned to create multiple broadcast domains. Which are mutually isolated, 4095 vlans (0 to 4095 are reserved). 32 bit will added to the Ethernet frame b/w source mac and etherType.
It reduce the broadcasting by increasing the broadcasting domain.

Tag protocol identifier (TPID): a
16-bit field set to a value of 0x8100 in order to identify the frame as an IEEE
802.1Q-tagged frame. This field is located at the same position as the
EtherType/length field in untagged frames, and is thus used to distinguish the
frame from untagged frames.
·
Tag control information (TCI)
·
Priority code point (PCP): a
3-bit field which refers to the IEEE
802.1p class
of service and
maps to the frame priority level. Values in order of priority are: 1
(background), 0 (best effort), 2 (excellent effort), 3 (critical application),
..., 7 (network control). These values can be used to prioritize different
classes of traffic (voice, video, data, etc.).
·
Drop eligible indicator (DEI): a
1-bit field. (formerly CFI[note 1][4]) May
be used separately or in conjunction with PCP to indicate frames eligible to be
dropped in the presence of congestion.[5]
