In Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), the PE devices provide a
logical interconnect such that CE devices belonging to a specific
VPLS instance appear to be connected by a single LAN. A VPLS
solution performs replication for multicast traffic at the ingress
PE devices. When replicated at the ingress PE, multicast traffic
wastes bandwidth when 1. Multicast traffic is sent to sites with no
members, and 2. Pseudo wires to different sites go through a shared
path. This document addresses the above cases by using LDP
signaling to emulate Multicast operation over VPLS with out using
IGMP and PIM snooping as described in [VPLS-MCAST].

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
