using IS-IS as the control protocol. The technology allows all paths to be active, supports equal cost paths, and provides shortest path forwarding in an Ethernet mesh network. IEEE 802.1aq SPB provides faster convergence, higher link efficiency ...

an MPLS VPN network. BCBs forward MAC-in-MAC frames based on the B-MAC and B-VLAN. They do not learn customer MAC (C-MAC) addresses. BEB Backbone edge bridges (BEBs) are edge nodes of the SPBM network. They are identical to PEs in an MPLS VPN network. ...

MAC-in-MAC SPBM encapsulates Ethernet frames into MAC-in-MAC frames by using 802.1ah PBB encapsulation. For more information about PBB, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide. Customer frames are encapsulated in MAC-in-MAC format at edges of the SPBM network bef ...

SPBM data packets use the IEEE 802.1ah MAC-in-MAC frame format, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 IEEE 802.1ah-compliant MAC-in-MAC frame format Table 1 IEEE 802.1ah encapsulated frame header fields Field Description B-DA Destination B-MAC that identifies the destination BEB. B-SA Source B-MAC. It is a known MAC address of the BEB that encaps ...

b. If equal-cost paths are available, each node runs ECT to choose the best forwarding path. c. The nodes populate their respective FDB and FIB tables with the forwarding path. 4. BEBs establish PWs over the SPBM network for transmitting customer traffic. Formation ...

Multicast SPBM floods unknown customer unicast, unknown customer multicast, and broadcast as multicast traffic. SPBM supports the following replication methods for multicast: • Head-end replication—Replicates frames at the ingress BEB for frames to enter the SPBM network. This method is suitable ...
