MPLS L2VPN

The MPLS L2VPN provides Layer 2 VPN services based on an MPLS network. The
carriers can provide Layer 2 VPNs over different media, such as ATM, FR, Virtual
Local Area Network (VLAN), Ethernet, and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) on a single
MPLS network. Meanwhile, the MPLS network provides the traditional IP, MPLS
L3VPN, and TE services as well as Quality of Service (QoS) policies.

To be simple, the MPLS L2VPN indicates that Layer 2 data is transmitted
transparently over the MPLS network. From the aspect of customers, the MPLS
network acts as a Layer 2 switched network through which Layer 2 connections can
be set up between nodes.
Classification of the MPLS L2VPN

The MPLS L2VPN is divided into VPLS and VPWS.
VPWS

VPWS is a technology that bears Layer 2 services. VPWS emulates services such as
ATM, FR, Ethernet, low-speed TDM circuit, and SONET/SDH in a PSN. In the PSN
network, the VPWS adopts LDP and BGP as the signaling protocol, emulates Layer 2
services (for example, Layer 2 data packets) on such CE through tunnels as MPLS
LSPs, and GRE tunnels, and transparently transmits the Layer 2 data of the CE. This
proximate emulation may distort the TDM data. The VPWS is a point-to-point (P2P)
L2VPN technology. The VPWS has four modes: CCC, SVC, Martini and Kompella.

VPLS

The VPLS is used to connect multiple Ethernet LAN segments through the PSN to
make them work as one LAN. The VPLS is also called transparent LAN service (TLS)
or Virtual Private Switched Network service (VPSNS). Different from the P2P service
of the common L2VPN, the VPLS enables the service provider to offer Ethernet-
based multipoint service to customers through the MPLS backbone network.

Introduction to the Martini Mode

The Martini mode uses double labels. The inner label adopts LDP extensions as the
signaling protocol for exchange. This mode complies with the draft-martini-l2circuit-
mpls. In the Martini draft, LDP is extended by adding an FEC type (VC FEC) for
exchanging VC labels. In addition, if the two PEs that exchange VC labels are not
directly connected, a remote LDP session must be created on which the VC FEC and
the VC label are transmitted. The PE assigns a VC label to each connection between
CEs. The L2VPN information that carries the VC is forwarded to the peer PE of the
remote session through the LSP set up through LDP. In this manner, a VC LSP is set
up on the ordinary LSP.

In Martini mode, the VC type and the VC ID are used to identify a VC between two
CEs.

VC type: indicates the encapsulation type of the VC, such as ATM, VLAN, and PPP.

VC ID: identifies a VC. The VC ID of each VC of the same type must be unique on the
entire PE.

The PEs that are connected to two CEs exchange VC labels through LDP, and bind
the corresponding CE according to the VC ID. A VC is set up for two CEs to transmit
Layer 2 data on the following the conditions:

The physical status of the AC interface becomes Up.

The tunnel between the two PEs is successfully established.

The label exchange and binding are complete.
