In particular, multi-homing with all-active forwarding is not supported and there's no existing solution to leverage Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) LSPs for optimizing the delivery of multi-destination frames. Furthermore, the provisioning of VPLS, even in the context of BGP-based auto-discovery, requires network operators to specify various network parameters on top of the access configuration. This document specifies the requirements for an Ethernet VPN (E-VPN) solution which addresses the above issues.}, }
