Redundancy Mechanism for Inter-domain VPLS Service
Abstract
In many existing Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) inter-domain
deployments (based on RFC 4762), pseudowire (PW) connectivity offers
no Provider Edge (PE) node redundancy, or offers PE node redundancy
with only a single domain. This deployment approach incurs a high
risk of service interruption, since at least one domain will not
offer PE node redundancy. This document describes an inter-domain
VPLS solution that provides PE node redundancy across domains.

1. Introduction
In many existing Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) deployments based
on [RFC4762], pseudowire (PW) connectivity offers no Provider Edge
(PE) node redundancy, or offers PE node redundancy with only a single
domain. This deployment approach incurs a high risk of service
interruption, since at least one domain will not offer PE node
redundancy. This document describes an inter-domain VPLS solution
that provides PE node redundancy across domains. The redundancy
mechanism will provide PE node redundancy and link redundancy in both
