The scalability of H-VPLS with Ethernet access network can be
improved by incorporating Provider Backbone Bridge functionality in
VPLS access. Provider Backbone Bridging has been standardized as
IEEE 802.1ah-2008, and aims to improve the scalability of MAC
addresses and service instances in Provider Ethernet networks. This
document describes different interoperability scenarios where
Provider Backbone Bridge functionality is used in H-VPLS with
Ethernet or MPLS access network to attain better scalability in
terms of number of customer MAC addresses and number of service
instances. The document also describes the scenarios and the
mechanisms for incorporating Provider Backbone Bridge functionality
within H-VPLS with existing Ethernet access and interoperability
among them. Furthermore, the document discusses the migration
mechanisms and scenarios by which Provider Backbone Bridge
functionality can be incorporated into H-VPLS with existing MPLS
access.
