1. VPLS service, SAP to SAP, SDP to SAP (that is, egressing on a SAP): For Unlearnt 
traffic, load-balancing does not happen (for both L2 and L3).Traffic always egresses on 
Flood-port (shown in “show lag <lag-id> detail”). 
2. VPLS service, SDP to SDP: Test has been performed only for VC label variation with 
the same Tunnel label.
3. ‘Learnt’ wherever mentioned corresponds to Destination MAC.
4. Source/Destination MAC refer to ‘Customer Source/Destination MACs’ unless otherwise 
specified. 
5. In case of a lag with 2 ports at the egress, different Ingress port-Ids may result in the 
same hash-index, resulting in traffic always getting hashed to only one of the ports. With 
more than 2 ports in the lag, load- balancing is expected to take place.
