 Foreword
Ethernet technologies are widely used in enterprise
networks, and operator networks, especially MANs. Due
to high bandwidth and low cost, Ethernet is competitive.
Ethernet MAN provides point-to-point services. MPLS
development popularizes MPLS-based L2VPN
applications. To ensure that Ethernet-like multi-point
services are provided on MAN/WAN, Virtual Private LAN
Service (VPLS) emerges.

What is VPLS?
VPLS is an L2 VPN technology based on MPLS and
Ethernet technologies. VPLS can implement multi-point-
to-multi-point VPN networking.

VPLS User Packet Forwarding
PE 1 generates two MPLS labels according to the forwarding table
- Private network label is used to identify the PW
- Public network label is used to pass through the tunnel to reach PE 2.

VPLS Martini Mode Implementation

LDP is used as signaling, and the peers of the PE need

to be manually specified.
The PEs in a same VPLS need to establish full
connection.
When a new PE is added, configuration need to be
modified on all relevant Pes.

What is Martini VPLS?
VPLS of Martini mode indicates establishing a point-to-multi-
point MPLS L2 VPN of a PW by using an inner label distributed
by the extended LDP.
