My point is that the splitting of VLANs happens outside of your domain 
and outside of your control. So yes, it is going to happen somewhere in 
a switchingmatrix, but you cannot control it.

So, how do you want to describe this?
Do you want to introduce a Node/SwitchingMatrix that is there but you do 
not control?
