PBB encapsulation is added at the user facing PE (U-PE) to hide the customer MAC addressing
and topology from the N-PE devices. The core N-PEs need to only handle backbone MAC
addressing and do not need to have visibility of each customer VPN. As a result, the integrated
PBB-VPLS solution decreases the load in the N-PEs and improves the overall stability of the
backbone.
