Virtual private LAN service (VPLS) multihoming enables you to connect a customer site
to two or more PE routers to provide redundant connectivity. A redundant PE router can
provide network service to the customer site as soon as a failure is detected. VPLS
multihoming helps to maintain VPLS service and traffic forwarding to and from the
multihomed site in the event of the following types of network failures:
PE router to CE device link failure
PE router failure
MPLS-reachability failure between the local PE router and a remote PE router

NOTE: In the VPLS documentation, the word router in terms such as PE router
is used to refer to any device that provides routing functions.
