This document specifies mechanisms for backward compatibility of
Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and Provider Backbone Bridge Ethernet VPN
(PBB-EVPN) solutions with Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) and Provider
Backbone Bridge VPLS (PBB-VPLS) solutions. It also provides
mechanisms for the seamless integration of these two technologies in
the same MPLS/IP network on a per-VPN-instance basis. Implementation
of this document enables service providers to introduce EVPN/PBB-EVPN
Provider Edges (PEs) in their brownfield deployments of VPLS/PBB-VPLS
networks. This document specifies the control-plane and forwarding
behavior needed for the auto-discovery of the following: 1) a VPN
instance, 2) multicast and unicast operation, and 3) a Media Access
Control (MAC) mobility operation. This enables seamless integration
between EVPN and VPLS PEs as well as between PBB-VPLS and PBB-EVPN
PEs.
This document is a product of the BGP Enabled Services Working Group of the
IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
