Since Adam brought it up (PBB EVPN), incase y'all didn't know and are interested, I rcv'd this free webinar invite and thought I'd pass it on... I don't know much about evpn and pbb...
**************************************************************************** ****** http://tools.cisco.com/gems/cust/customerSite.do?METHOD=E&LANGUAGE_ID=E&SEMI NAR_CODE=S17931&PRIORITY_CODE=000156077 This webinar presents a technical overview of Ethernet VPN (E-VPN) and Provider Backbone Bridging E-VPN (PBB-EVPN). These emerging solutions address the requirements of Carrier Ethernet and Data Center Interconnect market segments. Currently under standardization in the IETF, these technologies introduce advanced multi-homing options, support for multi-pathing and user-defined BGP policy capabilities to Ethernet L2VPNs.They also provide enhanced auto-discovery capabilities with low-touch provisioning and support for optimal unicast and multicast delivery. The webinar is intended for service providers or enterprises looking to deploy next generation L2VPN solutions for Carrier Ethernet or Data Center Interconnect services. This is a session that assumes familiarity with MPLS-based L2VPNs and BGP.

Hopefully it's going to support PIC Edge and Core soon. Though this setup is pretty new and I'm afraid I cannot afford to enable it for our production services yet. Anyways my question was regarding the "old school" VPLS as we all do it right now and LDP vs BGP signaling in particular. I'd like to find out which one do you folks prefer and why. adam -----Original Message----- From: Caillin Bathern [mailto:caill...@commtelns.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 2:57 AM To: Adam Vitkovsky; Nick Ryce; Aaron; Waris Sagheer (waris); cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: RE: [c-nsp] BGP Signalled VPLS VPLS multihoming is the major up-shot of BGP-VPLS in my opinion. Saves the need for xSTP within your network when dual-homing a customer to multiple PEs which makes everybody happy.
