NAME OF I-D:
SUMMARY
This document is the result of the merge of the following two I-Ds:
This document describes a virtual private LAN service
(VPLS)
solution over MPLS, also known as Transparent LAN Services (TLS). VPLS simulates an Ethernet virtual 802.1d bridge [802.1D-ORIG] [802.1D-REV] for a given set of users. It delivers a layer 2 broadcast domain that is fully capable of learning and forwarding on Ethernet MAC addresses that is closed to a given set of users. RELATED DOCUMENTS
WHERE DOES THIS FIT IN THE PICTURE OF
THE SUB-IP WORK
PPVPN
WHY IS IT TARGETTED AT THIS
WG
The charter of the PPVPN WG includes
L2 VPN services and this draft specifies
a model for Ethernet L2 VPN services
over MPLS.
JUSTIFICATION
Existing Internet drafts specify how
to provide point-to-point Ethernet L2 VPN
services over MPLS. This draft
defines how multipoint Ethernet services can be provided.
