Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products for modifying standard VLAN tags to perform network packet switching are described. In some implementations, a data packet can be received, and the data format of the data packet can be determined. Then, switching information associated with data package management is generated based on the data format of the data packet. The data packet can be modified using the generated switching information. For example, the modified data packet can be extended by a predetermined length to accommodate additional switching information.
