Abstract

This document describes how E-VPN can be used to support virtual private wire service (VPWS) in MPLS/IP networks. E-VPN enables the following characteristics for VPWS: active/standby as well as active/active multi-homing with flow-based load-balancing, eliminates the need for single-segment and multi-segment PW signaling, and provides fast protection using data-plane prefix independent convergence upon node or link failure.
