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 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 the IEEE bridge module and IETF LAN emulation
module. By doing so, it shows that the majority of interoperability
issues with CE bridges can be delegated to the 802.1ad bridge
module, thus removing the burden on the IETF LAN emulation module
within a VPLS PE.
