Resiliency Fundamentals
Resiliency definition from Metro Ethernet Forum:
A self-healing property of the network that allows it to continue to function with minimal or no impact to the network users upon disruption, outages or degradation of facilities or equipment in the MEN [MEF-2]
Users perspective
SLA attributes such as:
Availability
Mean Time To Restore (MTTR) Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
Providers perspective
Translation of SLAs to network protection requirements Selection of mechanisms / protocols to provide such protection

All PoAs use the same System MAC Address & System Priority when communicating with DHD
Configurable or automatically synchronized via ICCP
Every PoA in the RG is configured with a unique Node ID (value 0 to 7). Node ID + 8 forms the most significant nibble of the Port Number For a given bundle, all links on the same PoA must have the same Port Priority

Summary
Various access redundancy mechanisms are available, which enable node as well as network multi-homing:
Multichassis LACP (mLACP) MST Access Gateway (MST-AG) REP Access Gateway
Aggregation/core redundancy mechanisms operating at the pseudowire layer primarily protect against PE node failures:
One-way Pseudowire Redundancy Two-way Pseudowire Redundancy
Above mechanisms can interwork to provide comprehensive end-to-end resiliency solutions for E-Line and E-LAN services.
