Title : VPLS Interoperability with CE Bridges

One of the main motivations behind VPLS is its ability to provide
connectivity not only among customer routers and servers/hosts but
also among customer IEEE bridges. VPLS is expected to deliver the
same level of service that current enterprise users are accustomed
to from their own enterprise bridged networks or their Ethernet
Service Providers.
When CE devices are IEEE bridges, then there are certain issues and
challenges that need to be accounted for in a VPLS network. The
majority of these issues have currently been addressed in the IEEE
802.1ad standard for provider bridges and they can be leveraged for
VPLS networks. This draft extends the PE model described in RFC 4664 based on IEEE 802.1ad bridge module and illustrates a clear
demarcation between IEEE bridge module and IETF LAN emulation
module. By doing so, it describes that the majority of
interoperability issues with CE bridges can be delegated to 802.1ad
bridge module, thus removing the burden on IETF LAN emulation module
within a VPLS PE.
