Abstract:
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.
