VPLS.US 05/05/2011 Ethernet VPN to RFC 4762
http://vpls.us/?p=658I could see a couple different ways of addressing this issue:
- Through the use of NNIs. Which by the way is something I’m seeing as missing from the Ethernet VPN draft. The ability to cross different AS realms. Having a link between two PEs become the path between a BGP signaled Ethernet VPN and a LDP Signaled VPLS domain.
- Through the use of something like Juniper’s option E… Having a PE that can speak both Ethernet VPN and LDP VPLS and having it keep two LARGE forwarding tables that allows it to do the forwarding between the different domains.
- What else???
This is going to have to be addressed, or they risk another fraction as we saw between 4761 and 4762 or perhaps that’s what they want?
