Local VLAN vs End-to-End VLAN? 1

[Microbyte]

can someone give me legit definition?

I can make a educated guess by
Local VLAN is VLAN administered under same (intranet) domain and
End-to-End VLAN is VLAN carries out to the internet to reach other side of the VLAN.

is this right? wrong?
thanks in advance!

End-to-end VLANS: Users are assigned to the VLAN regardless of their physical location within the campus network. Their traffic patterns normally follow the 80/20 rule. 80% of the traffic is within the vlan and 20% is outside or remote traffic.
Local VLANS: users are assigned based on geographic boundaries or their physical location. Their traffic patterns normally follow the 20/80rule. 20% of the traffic is within the vlan and 80% is outside or remote traffic. Local VLANs are easier to manage and inter-vlan traffic is handled by layer 3 devices.

cool, thanks bobcat! i really needed that thorough explanation.

An even simpler definition: Local VLAN exists in only one box (switch). End-to-end VLAN spans several boxes. Local is what Cisco is now recommending for most installs. (Exceptions always exist to the recommendations, though.)

How about this relations.

Local VLAN = Static (port config)
ENd-to-End = Dynamic (MAC address config)

Is this correct?
