Flow-aware PW enable a PW to take advantage of Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) and/or Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) in a packet switched network (PSN). PW packets with a flow label can be transported over multi-paths. This method can apply to the PWs in a VPLS service. This document describes how VPLS solutions utilize a PW with a flow label, and defines protocol extension for the provisioning of such PWs.}, }
