Access Multi-Homing for Native PBB (B-VPLS over SAP
Infrastructure)
Alcatel-Lucent PBB implementation allows the operator to use a native Ethernet infrastructure as
the PBB core. Native Ethernet tunneling can be emulated using Ethernet SAPs to interconnect the
related B-VPLS instances. This kind of solution might fit certain operational environments where
Ethernet services was provided in the past using QinQ solution. The drawback is that no LDP
signaling is available to provide support for Access Multi-homing for Epipe (pseudowire Active/
Standby status) or I-VPLS services (LDP MAC Withdraw). An alternate solution is required.
A PBB network using Native Ethernet core is depicted in
home a number of edge switches running QinQ to PBB BEBs.

The interrupted line from the MC-LAG represents the standby, inactive link; the solid line is the
active link. The BEBs are dual-homed to two core switches BCB1 and BCB2 using native
Ethernet SAPs on the B-VPLS side. Multi-point B-VPLS with MSTP for loop avoidance can be
used as the PBB core tunneling.
