The new service interface type provides advantages in reducing the provisioning overhead, as well as pseudowire scalability in environments where a large number of VLANs need to be extended over an MPLS/IP network while maintaining traffic segregation among those VLANs. The VLAN aware bundling service interface can handle the high scale requirements of today's Data Centers by bundling different VLANs over a single WAN VPLS instance used to interconnect sites. Furthermore, this document specifies an extension to the LDP MAC Withdrawal mechanisms to allow per-VLAN MAC flushing for the new service interface type.}, }
