MVPLS

management virtual private LAN service

An MVPLS is created to run RSTP and manage traffic on the associated VPLS. An MVPLS is required to remove topology loops when redundant spoke SDPs or L2 access interfaces have been created for HVPLS configurations. RSTP must be run on the redundant spoke SDPs or L2 access interfaces to block some of them from passing traffic. VPLS that have redundant spoke SDPs or L2 access interfaces that are managed by the MVPLS also have their traffic blocked appropriately.
