The sFlow VPLS extension adds support for providing VPLS-related information to sFlow packet samples, for VPLS forwarded traffic. Specifically, for customer traffic ingressing on a CE-facing PE interface in a VPLS deployment that uses statically configured LDP pseudowires, information such as the name of the VPLS instance and the ID of the pseudowire that the packet will egress over will be included in the sFlow datagram.

Split horizon groups (SHG) may be used to divide all subinterfaces and VPLS pseudowires in a VLAN to different bridging groups so that bridging is prevented between members of the same SHG. Bridging is allowed between members of different SHGs and subinterfaces which don’t belong to any SHG.

Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) appears in (almost) all respects as an Ethernet type service to customers of a Service Provider (SP). A VPLS glues together several individual LANs across a packet switched network to appear and function as a single bridged LAN. This is accomplished by incorporating MAC address learning, flooding, and forwarding functions in the context of pseudowires that connect these individual LANs across the packet switched network. LDP signaling is used for the setup and teardown of the mesh of pseudowires that constitute a given VPLS instance.
