Virtual Private LAN Services
7750 SR OS Services Guide Page 799
Alcatel-Lucent implementation provides a solution for both PBB ELINE (EPIPE) and ELAN
(IVPLS) services that avoids PBB blackholing when the active ES11-BEB1 link fails. It also
provides a consistent behavior for both service type and for different backbone types: for example,
native Ethernet, MPLS, or a combination. Only MC-LAG is supported initially as the Access-
Multi-homing mechanism.
Solution Description for I-VPLS Over Native PBB Core
The use case described in the previous section is addressed by enhancing the existing native PBB
solution to provide for blackhole avoidance.
The topology depicted in Figure 115 describes the details of the solution for the I-VPLS use case.
Although the native PBB use case is used, the solution works the same for any other PBB
infrastructure: for example, G.8031 Ethernet tunnels, pseudowire/MPLS, or a combination.
