A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.

	Title		: VPLS Interoperability with Provider Backbone Bridges
	Author(s)	: A. Sajassi, et al.

	Pages		: 21

   The scalability of H-VPLS (either with MPLS or Ethernet access network) can be 
   improved by incorporating Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB -
                                                 - 802.1ah) functionality 
   in PE devices. PBB is being worked on in IEEE as an amendment to 802.1Q to improve 
   the scalability of MAC addresses and service instances in Provider Ethernet 
   networks. This draft describes how IEEE 802.1ah functionality can be used in the 
   H-VPLS access network to attain better scalability in terms of number of customer 
   MAC addresses and number of service instances that can be supported. This draft 
   also describes the scenarios and the mechanisms for incorporating PBB 
   functionality within H-VPLS (with either MPLS or Ethernet access network) and 
   interoperability between them.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
