Loop Prevention:
• Create partial or full-mesh of EoMPLS VCs per VPLS
• Use “split horizon” concepts to prevent loops
• Announce EoMPLS VPLS VC tunnels

CEs
• Each PE has a P2MP view of all other PEs it sees it self as a root
bridge, split horizon loop protection
• Full mesh topology obviates STP requirements in the service
provider network
• Customer STP is transparent to the SP / customer BPDUs are
forwarded transparently
• Traffic received from the network will not be forwarded back to
the network

VPLS Overview: VPLS Learning
• Unqualified
Single port assigned for all customer VLANs
Single broadcast domain for all customer VLANs
Single MAC address space (no overlap!)
• Qualified
Each VLAN has its own VPLS instance
A VLAN has its own broadcast space and MAC address space
Customer MAC addresses MAY overlap
One FIB per customer VLAN
Broadcast domain limited to VLAN scope

Overview:
• Okay for small customer implementations
• Simple provisioning
• Full mesh of directed LDP sessions required between participating
PEs
• VLAN and Port level support (no QinQ)
Drawbacks:
• No hierarchical scalability
• Scaling issues:
PE packet replication
Full mesh causes classic - N*(N-1) / 2 concerns

VPLS Architecture:
Characteristics – H-VPLS
Benefits:
• Best for larger scale deployment
• Reduction in packet replication and signaling overhead on PEs
• Full mesh for core tier (Hub) only
• Attachment VCs “virtual switch ports” effected through Layer 2
tunneling mechanisms (AToM, L2TPv3, QinQ)
• Expansion affects new nodes only (no re-configuring existing
PEs)
Drawbacks:
• More complicated provisioning
• MPLS Edge H-VPLS requires MPLS to u-PE
Complex operational support
Complex network design
Expensive Hardware support
