Abstract:
The scalability of H-VPLS with Ethernet access networks can be
improved by incorporating Provider Backbone Bridge functionality in
the 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.
