Abstract
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a type of Layer-2 Provider Provisioned Virtual Private Network (L2 PPVPN) offered service, which has been described in [PPVPN-FRWK]. If the Service Provider network provides IP multicast functionality, then this network capability can be leveraged in providing very efficient VPLS service and yet simplifying the implementation of such service. This document describes a solution for providing VPLS service based on IP multicast feature referred to as Multicast Virtual Private LAN Service (MVPLS).
