Technical Summary

   This draft specifies procedures for backward compatibility of the
   (PBB-)EVPN solution with (PBB-)VPLS and provides mechanisms for
   seamless integration of the two technologies in the same MPLS/IP
   network on a per-VPN-instance basis. Implementation of this draft
   enables service providers to introduce (PBB-)EVPN PEs in their brown-
   field deployments of (PBB-)VPLS networks.

Working Group Summary

   The document was developed to provide mechanisms to enable EVPN and traditional
   VPLS to work together in the same network in as seamless a way as practicable. This is
   important for service providers migrating from old VPLS deployments to new technologies
   such as EVPN. 

   There is one IPR declaration on the draft .
