VPLS, as currently defined, has challenges pertaining to the areas 
of redundancy and multicast optimization. In particular, multi-
homing with all-active forwarding cannot be supported and there's no 
known solution to date for leveraging MP2MP MDTs for optimizing the 
delivery of multi-destination frames. This document defines an 
evolution of the current VPLS solution, referred to as Routed VPLS 
(R-VPLS), to address these shortcomings. In addition, this solution 
offers several benefits over current VPLS such as: ease of 
provisioning, per-flow load-balancing of traffic from/to multi-homed 
sites, optimum traffic forwarding to PEs with both single-homed and 
multi-homed sites, support for flexible multi-homing groups and fast 
convergence upon failures.
