If

physical device (if this device does not support VLAN offloading), the similar

on the RX direction - by default the packet will be untagged before being

received by VLAN device. Reordering allows to accelerate tagging on egress and
|

to hide VLAN header on ingress so the packet looks like regular Ethernet packet,
|

at the same time it might be confusing while the packet sniffing as the VLAN header
|

does not exist within the packet.
