Re: VPLS Dual Homing

[Peng He <peng.he.2000 at gmail.com>]

There could be another options for VPLS dual-homing, ring protocol.
You could use ring protocols between CEs and PEs, or, U-PEs and N-PEs.
There was a ring-based draft published before but no update yet; and
there is also at lease a vendor had implemented ring-protocol based
VPLS dual-homing beautifully.
