A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7080 Title: Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Interoperability with Provider Backbone Bridges Author: A. Sajassi, S. Salam, N. Bitar, F. Balus Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: December 2013 Mailbox: sajassi@cisco.com, ssalam@cisco.com, nabil.n.bitar@verizon.com, florin.balus@nuagenetworks.net Pages: 26 Characters: 61560 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-l2vpn-pbb-vpls-interop-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7080.txt The scalability of Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS) with Ethernet access networks (RFC 4762) can be improved by incorporating Provider Backbone Bridge functionality in the VPLS access. Provider Backbone Bridging has been standardized as IEEE 802.1ah-2008. It aims to improve the scalability of Media Access Control (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. This document is a product of the Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
