  Working with PBB-VPLS
Working with PBB-VPLS
The Virtual Private LAN service (VPLS) is a class of VPN that supports the connection of multiple sites 
in a single bridged domain over a managed MPLS network. The VPLS is a multipoint service and it can 
also transport non-IP traffic. All customer premises at a VPLS instance appear to be on the same local 
area network regardless of their actual locations. The VPLS uses an Ethernet interface to the customer.
A VPLS network consists of the following three main components.
Customer Edges 
Provider Edges 
IP/MPLS core network

  Working with PBB-MMRP
Working with PBB-MMRP
Multiple MAC registration protocol (MMRP) is a data link layer 2 protocol that registers group MAC 
addresses on multiple switches. The MMRP allows multicast traffic in bridged LANs and provides a 
mechanism to achieve the following:
Register or unregister group membership information across the bridges attached to the same LAN.
Register or unregister individual MAC address information across the bridges attached to the same 
LAN.
Communicate the registration information across all the bridges that support extended filtering 
services in the bridged network.
MMRP operates on the services provided by the Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP). It allows 
bridges, switches or other similar devices to register or unregister attribute values such as VLAN 
identifiers and multicast the group membership information across a large LAN. 
You can view the following properties in the PBB-MMRP network:
