Title : VPLS Interoperability with Provider Backbone Bridges

Filename : draft-sajassi-l2vpn-vpls-pbb-interop-00.txt

The scalability of H-VPLS (either with MPLS or Ethernet access network) can be
improved by incorporating Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB -
- 802.1ah) functionality
in PE devices. PBB is being worked on in IEEE as an amendment to 802.1Q to improve
the scalability of MAC addresses and service instances in Provider Ethernet
networks. This draft describes how IEEE 802.1ah functionality can be used in the
H-VPLS access network to attain better scalability in terms of number of customer
MAC addresses and number of service instances that can be supported. This draft
also describes the scenarios and the mechanisms for incorporating PBB
functionality within H-VPLS (with either MPLS or Ethernet access network) and
interoperability between them.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-sajassi-l2vpn-vpls-pbb-interop-00.txt".
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.
